Details:
OK, its a user error but still should not be allowed to happen. Here is the
sequence:
Logging into a remote machine and starting screen
sharing an existing screen with -x of another user.
Wanting to show the other user what was on my own screen, and from within the
shared screen execute a -x on my original screen. This causes an infinite loop
and renders the machine useless until all screen instances get killed by the
OS (eventually). So useless you can't even ssh into it anymore.
This might be sorted in a later version but this is the version which is on
the yum repos for CentOS 5.5.
Thanks for listening.
