Hi,

since the Debian screen package was updated to 5.x, screen no longer works
on big-endian systems.

Tested on both ppc64 and sparc64, running "screen bash" will start bash
inside a screen, but it's no longer possible to interact with the shell,
i.e. typing commands.

Downgrading screen to the last 4.x release, fixes the problem immediately.

Access to big-endian systems for testing is available through the GCC Compile
Farm [1].

Thanks,
Adrian
