That is getting more and more a pain, and g-p-m is such a stupid
program that debugging mode does not give *ANY* useful information.

Could the maintainer please comment on that matter, or give at least
suggestions how to debug that rubbish.

I found that acpi-support tries to be super-intelligent and passes the 
lid close event on to g-p-m so I cannot even rely on my own scripts
using acpi because I would have to dig into the scripts of acpi-support.

Could it be that the acpi-support thing that passes on the lid close
event to g-p-m in combination with g-p-m responding by itself creates
this infinite loop?
