That's the cause. libgpmg1 is broken one more time.

I could reproduce the problem:

% xterm -e sh -c 'TERM=rxvt jed -n'

% TERM=rxvt-unicode gdb ./src/objs/jed

I found this in gpmmouse.c:open_mouse()

/* Unbelievable.  If we are running in an Xterm, gpm will turn on mouse

I've applied this patch and now, jed starts.
