well, I noticed that my vim caught a segfault in the linux console
everytime it called Gpm_Open() a second time.
I've tracked down this problem to the initialization of the option
variable in Gpm_Open(). It's initialized to NULL everytime Gpm_Open() is
called, but to the value of Gpm_get_console() only the first time.
Also this variable is declared extern but included from a header file, too.
It works for me now, with the patch below.
