It seems to be due to this change:
1.974 (monnier 12-Sep-08): if (gpm < 0)
1.974 (monnier 12-Sep-08): /* Presumably the GPM daemon has closed the connection. */
1.974 (monnier 12-Sep-08): close_gpm ();
in tty_read_avail_input of keyboard.c. I don't understand it because the GPM
manual says about Gpm_GetEvent:
It returns 1 on success, -1 on failure, and 0 after closing the connection.
The ChangeLog entry says:
* keyboard.c (tty_read_avail_input): Forcefully close the gpm
connection if Gpm_GetEvent fails.
Perhaps Stefan can shed some light.
