[crash] GPM & a signalling loop?

GPM was not running. I suspended and `fg'd a couple times. When I realized that gpm wasn't running, I tried to exit XEmacs. There's been a weird problem where when I go to exit, it says "loading hide copyleft", then just sits there. I have to push `C-g', then `C-x C-c' agian to make it exit. (With -vanilla that doesn't happen.) I've not spent the time to track this down yet. This time, when I pushed the second C-x C-c, XEmacs crashed. Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved.

I can't suspend XEmacs. The mouse cursor after a C-z is choppy, like talking through a fan. The screen scrolls up a line, leaving the cursor at the lower left. Pressing C-c gives a prompt about whether to autosave and the if I want to abort and dump core. I think it's in a resignalling loop. Fatal error (6).
