Description of problem:
A "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" is shown when running jfbterm in framebuffer mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Both jfbterm-0.4.7-22 and jfbterm-0.4.7-24

How reproducible:
On i686 version of Fedora 14:
[fc14]~>uname -r
2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686.PAE
[fc14]~>rpm -q jfbterm
jfbterm-0.4.7-22.fc12.i686

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora 14, and in the boot menu, add the boot parameter "vga=788"
2. As root, run: "chvt 1"
3. Install program "screen" by: "yum install screen"
4. Enter screen by running "screen"
5. jfbterm -e ls

Actual results:
A "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" will be shown in the end.

If jfbterm is run run in screen, it will hang and won't back to command line prompt.

I also tried to recompile http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/15/source/SRPMS/jfbterm-0.4.7-24.fc15.src.rpm on Fedora 14, and run it. Same results.

Expected results:
Back to command line prompt without segfault.
