[Bug 375625] Re: screen freezes up, turns zombie (new in jaunty w/ screen-profiles)

 

I haven't upgraded to maverick yet, but I did recently switch to use the
"awesome" window manager, and that has dramatically increased the
frequency that I trigger this bug (triggering the bug seems to be a
matter of switching back and forth between a high and low column count
while displaying vim or a similar program).  I noticed several things:

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?26742 was fixed in September of 2009, but
a major release hasn't been made since then and the patches don't seem
to have ever made their way into a minor release.

>From another LP bug report, in Maverick, matching my details almost
exactly (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/656396) I
gather that this patch hasn't yet made it into Debian or Ubuntu.  I
suspect that
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/369184 is also
related.
