Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-13
Severity: normal

When I start "screen", apps that run in it don't always notice screen
resize: the problem often occurs with "emacs -nw" and occurs in
non-selected windows with Mutt (well, I'm not completely sure, as
this is a bit random: the difference may just be a coincidence).

What's particularly interesting is the following:

* When the problem occurs, sending the SIGWINCH explicitly to the
  Emacs process (with kill -WINCH) doesn't have any effect.

* When the problem occurs and I create a new window from the same
  screen session and start "emacs -nw" in this new window, this
  Emacs does not get the correct window size.

Basically, I think this means that this problem is 100% a problem in
screen.

This seems to be a recent regression (but I'm not sure).
