Alessandro, we talked about versions/ odd and even numbers.

I will skip gpm-1.19.4, and build gpm-1.19.5 as a new release.
When everything is fine and works we go to 1.20.{0,1}.

Jason: in gpm-1.19.5 I fixed special.c the only with the oneliner

#include <linux/limits.h> /* for OPEN_MAX */

Alessandro cleared this out in his email.
