If running with

        (gpm-mouse-mode 1)

and if you stop the gpm server, then emacs dies with

        Fatal error (6)Aborted

Output from "bt full" below; xbacktrace printed nothing at all.


The backtrace shows it at the abort() under the EBADF case in
wait_reading_process_output().  I think when Gpm_GetEvent gets an eof
from the server it closes gpm_fd; maybe that's the bad fd in question.
