Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-0.2
Severity: important
One of the most important features of screen is autodetach on HUP.
That is, if one breaks one's login session, screen gracefully
autodetaches instead of killing the session. This is supposed to be
on by default per the screen manpage. This used to be on by default
under Debian. For some reason, this is no longer the default, and
hasn't been for some months.
The workaround is to manually enable "autodetach on" in the per-user
screenrc, or in /etc/screenrc.
I'd have reported this earlier, but I thought it was random screen
crashes. I've only recently realized that screen was consistently
exiting when my sessions died. So I don't know when the problem
began.
