Hi,
I have the same problem for months. Very annoying. Thanks to your
pointers!!! I recompiled screen to find out where the path environment
breaks. Its not the window.c.diff but the screen.c.diff patch. The
path environment breaks as a side effect of the if condition
evaluation. Any idea what _vprocmgr_move_subset_to_user is needed for?
Are there any sources available for this stuff? Or do you know a
proper procedure to report this issue to Apple? I would really like to
get this issue resolved in some future, as my dev environment for one
of my projects broke at the leopard update where this issue seems to
have been introduced. And its just annoying to work around this Apple
bug ...
Best,
André

I encountered this recently as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the
shell is involved at all. I turned on zombie mode then ran:
screen env
The output showed PATH as the system default:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
rather than my custom PATH.
Looking at the patches Apple applied [1] to screen, the one that seems
most suspect is that they invoke login when creating a new window.
However, I couldn't duplicate this behavior of the PATH being reset
when invoking login myself, even using the same flags they seem to
use.
The good news is that the MacPorts [2] screen port does not have this
problem.
