Package: w3m
Version: 0.3-2.4
Relevant configuration:
Kernel: 2.4.20
Libc version: 2.2.5-11.5
/dev hierarchy was trimmed down to those devices that actually exist.
Since the machine in question is a colocated server with no mouse or
keyboard, the mouse and keyboard nodes were removed.
Recursive /dev listing from "ls -R /dev":

Connection to the machine is done via SSH exclusively.
The problem might be related to a fresh Cyrus installation. Cyrus
depends on Tcl/Tk, which in turn installs a mouse library (GPM I think,
though I'm not too sure). I'm not sure how this would affect w3m,
though, since that was installed earlier and worked before the Cyrus
installation.
Problem:
Running w3m as installed from the Debian distribution will make w3m
crash with a segmentation violation.
As far as I could tell from gdb output, the crash is due to trying to
dereference a null pointer taken from a data structure, in function
Gpm_Open(). (I didn't install sources for w3m, so this information may
be misleading.)
Workaround:
Find a .html file somewhere on disk and run
w3m -no-mouse <whatever HTML file>
Press "o" to get the options screen; it will already have "Mouse
support: Off" listed. Tab to the OK button at the bottom of the form and
press the Enter key.
The above makes sure that w3m will start with no mouse support by default.
