Just to clarify, when I remove the "source" command from .screenrc, screen starts normally.

In .screenrc I have

source .screenrc.all

which I use to load my default settings. This has always worked, up through screen 4.9.1. But in 5.0.0 it makes screen hang. No screen starts, and screen becomes unresponsive. I have to interrupt it (Ctrl-Z) to get back to my shell.

This is in Cygwin 3.6.1. screen has worked well there since version 3.0 or so.
