The check for root permissions when connecting to a multiuser screen failed to recognize that suid root permissions are not needed when the multi_uid and the real_uid are the same. Such a situation could arise if a user were to attempt to attach via ssh to a screen which was also attached, by the same user, locally. The bug causes this attempt to error out with a complaint about lack of suid root, but in fact suid root is not needed, so screen should allow the connection.
