Meh, indeed. But why?

I've digged through the code to try to figure out why "term screen"
does not work while "term screen-256color-bce" does work. But so far I
didn't find the reason.

Next step would be using debug output. But screen in Debian is compiled
without -DDEBUG due to #98839 from 2001. According to the man page,
these "debug on" only works if compiled with -DDEBUG, so I'll check if
that bug report still applies to current screen versions. I tough
don't have time to dig that deep today.

                Regards, Axel
