This is just a guess... in s_inter.c, try replacing:
int sys_pollgui(void)
{
return (sys_domicrosleep(0, 1) || sys_poll_togui());
}
with:
int sys_pollgui(void)
{
return (sys_domicrosleep(0, 1) + sys_poll_togui());
}
It's possible that sys_domicrosleep(0 - which polls for input from GUI and
other FDs - isn't ever returning "idle" (zero) so that sys_poll_togui() never
gets called.
I've also seen a patch's GUI stop updating, but rather than bewail the fact
that my GUI was dead, my immediate reactions was to be astonished that the
sound was still working :)
