Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

sudo apt-get install dtach
dtach -A vim vim
<Alt+F4> (kill terminal)
(start new terminal)
dtach -A vim vim
(kill terminal, start new terminal, etc, should not take too long for the bug 
to manifest)

What I expect to happen:

vim shows up and is usable every time I attach.

What actually happens:

Eventually, I just get a blank screen and I can no longer interact with
the dtach'd process.

Why this is an Ubuntu bug:

I clone'd the source from git://github.com/bogner/dtach.git at revision
03b9462d78719df9c408d65ce837d890d00f9f77 and did:

export CFLAGS="-g"
./configure
make

and when I do the same test with the resulting binary, I cannot
reproduce the bug.
