Dear Maintainer,
GNU Screen will crash after a zmodem transfer in ":zmodem pass" mode. This is
an old bug (for 15 years) and have been discussed in the upstream here:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25291
Last month it was finally fixed by this commit, which will be included in
v5.0.0:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/commit/?id=4bd2fac68bd967b0ae15dc36455499946949a939
Do we have a chance to apply this patch to bookworm? Thanks.
