Package: irssi Version: 4.0.3-0.3 Severity: wishlist Screen should ship with "defnonblock 5" by default in /etc/screenrc. This solves a number of common issues involved with using GNU screen with OpenSSH and the Irssi IRC client.
It is my understanding that sshd stops accepting bytes in certain situations, which causes Screen to stop accepting bytes, which in turn causes Irssi to hang writing bytes. Enabling 'defnonblock 5' in a screenrc (proposed in #172605 but now included upstream) fixes this problem for me. I have tested this on a number of SSH clients, including Simon Tatham's PuTTY.
