Subject: libgpmg1: Gpm_Wgetch segfaults when gpm_fd = -1 in the loop

Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2004 10:10:55 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

If gpm_fd is externally closed while in the middle of the loop on
Gpm_Wgetch() it segfaults trying to FD_SET with a negative number.

I've debugged and got a patch, it's the same thing that is done on
Gpm_Getc in liblow.c.

I've seen then that there was another patch filed, but it didn't
reach you because it was sent to control@.

I've seen this problem with new aumix versions.

regards,
guillem
