Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
Screen 4.0.1 from pkgsrc is being built with -O2 which apparently triggers some
optimisation bug in gcc on alpha and causes segfaults when you (within screen)
issue a version or hardcopy command, as well as aborts on any command line
command such as screen -wipe (allthough it happens after doing the issued
command)
>How-To-Repeat:
build screen on alpha from pkgsrc and try command v
>Fix:
A temporary fix can be done by building screen without optimisation flags,
a real fix would have to be done in the compiler I suspect.
