Thanks. That's a good idea. Unfortunately when I try it screen hangs,
unresponsive. Same result if I just comment out the call to ioctl().

That might be because of the missing ioctl(), or it might be because of some
other change since screen 4.9.1. Not sure. So I think my next stop is to ask
the screen developers. 

Thanks for your help!
