Details:

Since several years, I have experienced sporadic hangs of screen.  They
happen like this:

One screen hangs, but I can still switch to other screens and also detach.

When I detach and try to reattach, the client process hangs.  It is also
unresponsive to Ctrl-C.  Suspending works.

I observe this behavior both on FreeBSD and Linux.  I could not yet find a
way to reproduce the problem.  It happens rarely, but frequent enough to be a
real annoyance.

If you have a similar problem or any insights, please comment.  I can put
some time into fixing this, but currently I do not have any good theory what
the problem could be.
