Yes, error message needs to be fixed as it hardcodes number, I will do that. > | So for me it's likely that the issue is in an older version of > screen. | The original reporter also wrote something about a pending > upgrade.

That's strange. Overall, I'm also not sure what may cause this problem, code seems fairly simple and I can't reproduce it here. Some ideas to try are to make sure he has right screen (md5sum it and check 'screen --version'). Also same can be done with libraries screen is linked with. Another thing I would check is screen.xterm-256color file itself Also does it work with other terminfo entries? Does "screen -c /dev/null" work fine? Amadeusz
