GNU Screen - News: Screen users mailing list

When using gnu screen, I'm in the habit of just dropping the connection (I'll put my laptop to sleep, for example), and periodically, I have screen just refuse to allow me to reattach.  I've tried to do some research on this.

This guy claims to have submitted a patch to fix it:

While this thread claims that there is no good fix:

I've tried all sorts of things to get it unstuck.  Attaching/detaching a debugger, various command-line options, sending signals, etc.  Nothing works.

My situation seems different from the 2009 thread, because I'm not stuck in write().  Here's what the debugger tells me:

0x00007f59953073c3 in __select_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82
82 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory.
in ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S
(gdb) where
#0  0x00007f59953073c3 in __select_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82
#1  0x0000000000441ccc in sched () at sched.c:124
#2  0x00000000004062b0 in main (ac=<value optimized out>, av=<value optimized out>) at screen.c:1365

I'm assuming I found the right process, anyhow.  There are no zombie clients running, so I can't kill any of those.  This is the only process with 'screen' in the name:

I haven't tried deleting the socket node, but since this seems to be a new problem, I thought it safer if I were to ask for advice before doing something that might make it impossible to find out what happened.

What should I do?

Thanks.
