Fixed at 256, so it's not that ... :) I'm actually wondering is there's
something a little more fundamental broken, as OpenSSH on a slack server
I admin uses /dev/pts/* as the terminal at log in, but my desktop Slack
box, the one I'm trying to get screen working on, uses /dev/tty[p-r]*
instead.

Just a quick check also shows that screen on the server works correctly.

Hmm...the main difference between the two boxes is the remote server is
running 2.2.20, whilst the desktop box is running 2.4.18. Beyond that,
they're running the same glibc, gcc et al.

Must do some more digging ... :-/

Chris...
