Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: screen

Install ubuntu, then start screen with otions "-dm":

screen -dm top

looking into /var/run/screen/S-userwhostartedscreenwith-dmS you'll find
the directory empty (if it was before), or if there are files, no socket
referencing the running screen instance.

screen -dmS top top

does behave the same.
You may recreate the socket by issuing "kill -CHLD screeninstance-pid", but 
that is at least annoying, or not useful if you started more than only a few 
screen sessions.
