Hi,
since the latest update, screen no longer works on big-endian systems.
Tested on both ppc64 and sparc64, running "screen bash" will start bash
inside a screen, but it's no longer possible to interact with the shell,
i.e. typing commands.
Downgrading screen to the last 4.x release, fixes the problem immediately.
Thanks,
Adrian
