Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-14
Severity: normal

hello,

Screen was running on a distant pc. I doing some operations. Several times, I 
noticed that if my hp mini crashes, while working on this distant pc.
My session screen is still running, there, adn working, but but... .
it remains attached. 

It is working when I shutdown my pc: the distant pc screen moves the attached 
status to detached status, luckily.
 
But if I do a cold reset or a crash of my pc, the screen on hte distant pc will 
remain attached.

This is particularly tricky and not good for testdisk, or long long long 
operations.

Screen remains unstable for that :( I wish it would be 100pct stable for long 
operations on servers, whatever clients do in terms of cold reset, crashes,....
I could always re-gain the running screen processes on the linux server.

Screen is very important program for Linux. Very useful and widely employed.

Best regards
Y.
