sysutils/screen switched from using named pipes to local domain sockets

Maybe a heads-up is in order.

If you're in the (bad?) habit of running portupgrade, etc, from 
sysutils/screen, beware that screen 4.2.1 switched from using named 
pipes to local domain sockets. The naming of sockets hasn't changed, 
only the (file) type.

Stop any running screen sessions before upgrading sysutils/screen, or 
perhaps you should upgrade your ports while in single-user mode.
