Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-3
Severity: important

When entering the copy/scrollback mode (which seems to be easy to do
by mistake), screen blocks the output. And if a server is running in
screen, this leads to denial of service.

screen should either not block the output in copy/scrollback mode or
provide a timeout option (the nonblock option has no effect in copy
mode).

The first solution would be the best to be able to do a scrollback
without disrupting a server.
