Hello,

I've come across a problem with specifically screen with the switches -d -m. The switches seem to cause the CPU usage to sit at around 100% single core usage for the server and just over 50% usage for screen itself. Attaching session also fails to pass keystrokes properly (keystrokes end up sending outside of screen session for some reason?)

Issue seems to occur exclusively with BeamMP-Server (Multiplayer server for BeamNG Drive, https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server ).

screen ./BeamMP-Server <- no issues
screen -d -m ./BeamMP-Server <- High CPU usage

System Info:
