This was on release 4.0.3. Sorry, I had set that originally, but had an error sumitting the report and forgot to put it in the second time.

Create a screen session like this:

> screen -S 2kinds


Then detach from the session, and try to reattach like this:

> screen -r 2kinds


You'll get this error message:

"There is no screen to be resumed matching 2kinds."

However "screen -list" shows that the screen session is still there:

> screen -list

There is a screen on:
10518.2kinds (12/06/2010 11:20:56 AM) (Detached)

The only way to reattach the session is to give the full pid.host to the -S argument:

> screen -r 10518.2kinds


Note that this occurs even if there is only one session that was created with the '2kinds' name. I originally thought the problem was due to ambiguity between session names (more than one session with the same name, but different PIDs). However, the above example shows that the problem occurs even when there is only one screen session running.
