Its not a kernel bug that Im sure of. I think its a Debian glibc bug. It

only affects debian potato. We know of one glibc bug that it might
involve
and that is a bug in glibc 2.1 ttyname(). If it works with /proc
unmounted
you need to get the debian folks to fix their glibc

I noticed Alan wrote in his release notes this breaks screen.
It broke mine.

I tried downgrading the kernel, and screen...  Is there any work around?

Here is what I am seeing...

I'm running Debian 2.2 (potato)

[wrmcd@janitor: ~]$ screen -S bitchx bitchx
