I use screen in a docker container on Home Assistant OS on a x86 machine.
```
# uname -a
Linux core-ssh 6.1.25 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Apr 25 11:50:31 UTC 2023
x86_64 Linux
# screen -v
Screen version 4.09.00 (GNU) 30-Jan-22
# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Alpine Linux"
ID=alpine
VERSION_ID=3.17.3
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.17"
HOME_URL="https://alpinelinux.org/";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues";
```
Just running `screen -v` is very slow as well.
Very slow means tens of seconds or minutes - prior to the latest update of the
docker container, this took about 1 second max.
```
strace -f -o screen.log screen -v
```
The screen.log shows many lines similar to the following:
```

{fd=33, revents=POLLNVAL}, {fd=34, revents=POLLNVAL}, ...])
```
I notice that the value for 'fd' is continuously increasing. On line 3196 of
the log I get:
```
