Subject: bug#407: gpm server stop making emacs abort()

From: Kevin Ryde <[email-masked]>

If running with

	(gpm-mouse-mode 1)

and if you stop the gpm server, then emacs dies with

	Fatal error (6)Aborted

Output from "bt full" below; xbacktrace printed nothing at all.

The backtrace shows it at the abort() under the EBADF case in
wait_reading_process_output().  I think when Gpm_GetEvent gets an eof
from the server it closes gpm_fd; maybe that's the bad fd in question.

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.10)
 of 2008-06-13 on blah.blah
