[screen-devel] [bug #34714] screen crashes on startup

[Tomas Fasth]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #34714 (project screen):

There is a bug reported in Debian (#707044) regarding screen core dump that is
similar to this one. It can be accessed here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707044
I have boiled it down to the following test:
$ cat > ~/.screenrc <<!
hardstatus string "%w%d"
maxwin 10
!
$ screen -dLR
[screen caught signal 11. (core dumped)]
$ screen -dLR ### Running screen again gives additional info, but do not
crash
There is a screen on:
        17885.pts-0.debian-systemd      (2014-12-02 19:00:20)   (Dead ???)
Remove dead screens with 'screen -wipe'.
$ screen -v
Screen version 4.02.01 (GNU) 28-Apr-14
$ uname -a
Linux debian-systemd 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-2 (2014-11-06) x86_64
GNU/Linux

It does not occur in an older version of screen, in this case on MacOS 10.10:
$ screen -v
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06
$ uname -a
Darwin modesty.local 14.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.0.0: Fri Sep 19 00:26:44
PDT 2014; root:xnu-2782.1.97~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Please advice if further assistance is needed.
