Subject: gpm server stop making emacs abort()
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2008 06:55:33 +1000
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
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.
