All the same, may be worth taking a peek at the patch history..? Are you using the default screen settings as provided by debian in /etc/screenrc + the hardcoded stuff - IOW.. do you (your test user) have a ~/.screenrc? I was thinking of listing the options that are on/off in my setup so you could compare with yours. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a way to do that in GNU/screen.. and if so how it's done.. a bit like the ‘:set’ command with no option specified in Vim. Would anyone know the answer to that question? Otherwise, I find that GNU/screen's behavior is somewhat unclear/erratic in the messaging area: When I have a screen session with... say twenty... windows, and I wall a message from the superuser, I find that the message does not appear on some of the windows/pts while it does appear on others.. which can be a bit of a nuisance since you have to do a CTRL_L to get rid of the message. Not sure if it's possible, but wouldn't it make better sense that only the ‘active’ window gets the message? Is GNU/screen actually trying to do just that... and making a mess of things? Might be worth taking a look at what wall is doing, using gdb or strace and see if anything transpires that end..? In any event, I'd say it's definitely worth sending a bug report to the maintainer.. see if he can recreate.. On a multi-user system not being able to send a message for all to see does not strike me a healthy situation.
