Sorry if this message is innapropriate for the list;

Anyhow, I don't know if it matters / if it's related, but I get a similar
behavior under Slack 7.0 with GNU Screen 3.9.4.. I start it up and it
terminates complaining about I_PUSH stuff.. [ie: can't make it work on
slack7 boxes]. Would slack's glibc screwed up?
