[Pkg-gpm-devel] Bug#308087: gpm: oops() invoked from gpn.c(205) on 'gpm -k' when gpm's not running

[Eric Hansander]

Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-19
Severity: normal


On doing 'gpm -k' when gpm is not running, the following is reported
to syslog:

May  7 21:09:49 sil gpm[5603]: oops() invoked from gpn.c(205)
May  7 21:09:49 sil gpm[5603]: /var/run/gpm.pid: No such file or directory

If gpm _is_ running when I do 'gpm -k', everything works perfectly.
