I just rebuilt screen and doesn't seem to work indeed. The point is that
I wrote a perfectly fine patch for it and sent it to cy@, but he
committed a completely different version to the ports tree. You'd better
discuss this regression with him.

My version did work:

| (ed at dull) ~ $ tty
| /dev/pts/0
| (ed at dull) ~ $ w
|  9:02AM  up 5 days, 11:02, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.08, 0.03
| USER       TTY      FROM                      LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
| ed         pts/0    mekker.80386.nl           9:02AM     - w
| (ed at dull) ~ $ screen
| (ed at dull) ~ $ tty
| /dev/pts/2
| (ed at dull) ~ $ w
|  9:03AM  up 5 days, 11:02, 1 user, load averages: 0.05, 0.08, 0.03
| USER       TTY      FROM                      LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
| ed         pts/2    mekker:S.0                9:03AM     - w
