Bug#493823: gpm: segv on SIGWINCH

[Kevin Ryde]

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-2
Severity: normal

If the running gpm server process is sent a sigwinch

  kill -WINCH $pid

it dies with a segv,

  Aug  4 13:50:56 blah /usr/sbin/gpm[6589]: /usr/sbin/gpm pid 6589 is resizing :-)
  Aug  4 13:50:56 blah kernel: [10393.257728] gpm[6589]: segfault at 58 ip 080544a8 sp bfde19e0 error 4 in gpm[8048000+14000]

I don't know what it's supposed to do for sigwinch, presumably segv is
not it :-).  I noticed it trying /etc/init.d/console-screen.kbd.sh from
the kbd package, it sends a sigwinch to gpm when the font, or key
mapping, or something, might have changed.
