screen package
Hi,
I am having a problem with the screen package. I installed the Debian
package which links with ncurses, libc, libcrypt, and libutil and it is
slower than the binary I had running on a slackware libc5 based system.
For example, when I create a window or switch windows, there's about a one
second delay before it does anything. I tried using a libc5 binary and it
segfaulted even though I have the appropriate libc packages and ncurses3
packages installed. Then I compiled the source, still slow. I then tried
compiling on a libc5 based system using a -static option on gcc which
didn't work either. It complained about not being able to read
/var/run/utmp. Is Debian handling terminals a bit differently somewhere
to cause this delay. My load average is like 0.03 and there's lots of
free ram so it's nothing like that. It's very confusing because I've
tried it linked staticly and it produced the same result. Any ideas?
