Apparently so. Silly of me to beleive screen which told me I had
"dead" screen sessions and suggested to run `screen -wipe`, which put
a living session into a coma.
I haven't quite identified what causes that occasionally hateful
behavior of screen, but it's probably a relief to know that it's never
been possible for me to recover a zombified screen session like that
when it's shown up.
What I particularly find hateful about screen is its habit of turning a
bell into "Woof Woof" or "Bell in window N".
