The patch is buggy, taking the address of the array in globals.c is not
the intent.  The intent of CursorScreenKey is to provide an array of
integers, one for each screen.

I think there's some issue with a CursorBits structure having a bad
devPrivates pointer.  If I knew what the exact sequence of gimp
operations were I could attempt to reproduce the problem.  If the
problem persists then the "devPrivates" field of CursorBits could be
dumped and returned to what it was before, which was an array of pointer
sized to MAXSCREENS.
