And ? Would you care if it weren't part of Cygwin ?

Yes, and with 1.5.6 screen is so useless that a SEGV would be
helpful.

Yes, but screen probably has more users than various packages
that ship with Cygwin. And it'd have many more if it were part
of it.

Do you think all users are Cygwin developers and know how to
debug such things ? I couldn't even debug the ELinks problem I
had, where none of the commands (bt, info threads, thread 1...)
that work on Linux showed anything useful. Now you suggest I
spend some hours with gdb. Doing what ?
I guess it's easier to go through the snapshots from the first
2 months after 1.5.5. Are they available somewhere or tagged in
CVS ?
