yeah it's funny, if it doesn't make you think you are cracked.
it's in the screen attach.c code, when it first happened, I
couldn't attach to a prior session and really thought I was
compromised. Didn't think it was funny at the time, don't recall
finding anything in google about it.

This time I was doing some really unusual stuff with screen and
that source was the first place I looked. I only wish the fail to
attach error message was more specific...
