 Didn't Jan identify this as a bug in GPM a while back? The stack trace
 looks familiar. 
No, that was a problem with M-x suspend-emacs. it caused an infinite
signal loop in libgpm when used on a glibc2 system. So it is most
likely not the same bug, but it does make it likely that the glibc2.1
is the "culprit".
