Additionally it also exits with exit code zero.
Both are not what you were declaring as "tolerable behaviour" as you
also required "message on stderr plus nonzero exit status" as I do.
I though must admit that "Panic()" is indeed widely used all over the
screen source code, so it looks like the right function for this purpose.
But if I type
Ctrl-A:screen ../t.sh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41
42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64
65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87
88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
inside a Screen session, I do get the proper error message
: too many tokens.
(with the empty string before the colon) as a status line message. So
there it at least aborts properly.
I also tried to modify your patch to at least get a non-zero exit code
or a visible error message in your case, but failed so far for both.
