I've now patched screen(1) and it works, but one thing is amazing me.
The other computer I wrote about has the serial console on ttyS0 and
starting screen(1) on the serial console works. Here's the relevant
strace part:
screen-strace:open("/dev/ttyS0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
screen-strace.23801:open("/dev/ttyS0", O_RDWR) = 3
This doesn't work on the HP box with the serial console on ttyS2. After
adding O_NONBLOCK, it works. Here's the strace:
screen-strace:open("/dev/ttyS2", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
screen-strace.31830:open("/dev/ttyS2", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
Am I going correct that this is a bug in screen(1) and it only works on
the first box by some mysterious reason? Mabye some timing issue?
Thanks,
Michael
