Wow, this looks like a compiler bug. When disassembling I see:
src/util.c:226
f1597: 58 popl %eax
f1598: 85 ed testl %ebp,%ebp
f159a: 7e 1c jle f15b8 <get_keystroke+0xe4>
But, %ebp doesn't seem to be set before this point. Further, the
'msec' parameter should be %eax at the start of the fuction, but %eax
is clobbered near the top of the function.
What version of gcc are you using?
I'm currently using FC10:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)
