A patch is available at Bug #40421
allowing the attachee to start with $ screen -k
to skip CheckPid which always fails
perhaps due to a kill API change,
either a bug or tightened security.

Same bug in screen 4.2.1 under MacOS 10.10 "Yosemite" see bug #40421 for more detail.

The most likely explanation may be a permission mismatch between the attaching user and the attached process. Closing; reporter should reopen if more information about why CheckPid is failing can be provided.

can't attach to a multiuser screen session on aix 5.3.  Error says 'Bad Pid'.

Traced problem to CheckPid function in socket.c.  Worked around it by just making that function return 0.  Not sure what correct fix is.
