I get errors like the following:

Jul 14 13:06:50 soba w3m: *** info
Jul 14 13:06:50 soba w3m: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory
Jul 14 13:06:50 soba w3m: *** err
Jul 14 13:06:50 soba w3m: Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die!

logged to /var/log/syslog when I run w3m on the console. I do not have
GPM installed. I can't see any justification for w3m deciding to log to
syslog, nor do I particularly care that it can't talk to GPM. The
program functions fine (ie it didn't die like it thought it might).
