I'm told (off-list) that screen and libc6 updates fix this problem,
however both appear to be at latest versions. I'm also asked if I'm
'su'ing to the user in question. The answer is no, I'm trying to run
screen in an rxvt.
I'd strongly encourage *on* list responses to list issues, in part so I
don't have to talk to myself any more than absolutely necessary for
essential communication.
