I can only reproduce this bug in screen.  So far it happens every time
if I start screen automatically from .bash_profile, but not if I wait
and start it manually from the shell.  I can't figure out yet why that
would be.

The bug happens in x86 and x86_64.  I'm attaching my cygcheck.out, from
x86_64.  I don't see any obvious problems in it.
