You're quite right to ask how to reproduce it!  Unfortunately I find it
hard to reproduce consistently - it has been happening intermittently
for the last 3-4 days.  When I restart gpm I can restart vim no problem.

I wondered if there were some well known issue with blocking on
/dev/gpmctl, or something.

I shall try to reproduce and report back to the list for more help!
