Hello, screen reads /proc/pid/stat, which happened to be bogus on my box. The problem I have is that instead of just getting -1 (EIO) or something similar, screen got the SIGLOST signal. Indeed, _hurd_fd_error_signal does so when the server disappears.
This seems quite problematic as POSIX doesn't say that read() might raise signals (while write may indeed raise SIGPIPE): a posixly correct application may then unexpectedly terminate due to a non-POSIX signal by just read()ing some opened file from an odd translator. Samuel
