In versions prior to 5.x
I used to be able to tell screen which window number to use when creating a new window.

5.x seems to ignore that number, and creates a window at the next free window number and not at the specified number.

start screen, and in that single window, type
  screen 10

expected: a new window at number 10
actual: a new window at next-free (1)
