Hi team!
Small and hopefully nonintrusive patch for an added feature I'd like to see
in screen. I failed to locate a working git repository. Is savannah dead?
Using an old checkout of mine, I created a patch the old fashionned way.
-- see attached.
thanks,
Jw

When used as a minicom replacement, the hard coded sleep(5)
is really annoying, when trying to find the correct line and parameters.
This patch makes this fatal error message behave more like an ordinary message.
We now honor msgwait variable and honors user input.
