Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-12
Severity: normal
User: glibc-bsd-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

screen on kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 doesn't seem to pass any
signals (at least STOP, INT and WINCH) to text applications or shells
running inside that screen.

This has the following annoying effects on kfreebsd:

+ Neither Ctrl-C nor Ctrl-Z work inside screen. A manual kill -INT or
  kill -STOP on those programs from another shell (can be inside a
  screen) works fine.

+ When I run text-mode applications like irssi or zile inside screen
  and resize the xterm the screens run in (or reattach from a
  differently sized terminal), the applications don't get resized and
  I have to kill -WINCH them all manually.

Starting a new terminal inside screen with Ctrl-A Ctrl-C (or when
starting screen initially) always results in the following error
message:

  fgtty: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Could be a hint on the cause of the above described issues.

Since there exist workarounds using kill or killall manually, it's
surely not severity "important", but it's very annoying, though.
