Hi Brian-

I have no say in what goes in upstream, but if you can demonstrate (or
tell me) that changing this value doesn't cause regression elsewhere,
I don't have a problem carrying such a patch in Ubuntu.  If you
specifically want this in the Ubuntu screen package, please file a bug
at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+filebug.

But ideally, upstream would sign off on this, and integrate it into
the next release, if it's reasonable ;-)

Cheers,
:-Dustin
