Okay, looks like it's really just an issue with our local testbed 
configuration. Sorry!

On several HP-UX machines near me the following is true:

>printf '%s %s %s\n' `uname -s` `uname -r` `uname -m`
HP-UX B.11.23 ia64
>grep strlen /usr/include/string.h | grep -v ^#\ \*pragma
     extern int strlen();
         extern size_t strlen(char *);
         extern size_t strlen(const char *);
       extern size_t strlen();

where the first declaration is under #ifdef _CLASSIC_ANSI_TYPES -- this macro 
isn't used anywhere in Screen code, isn't it?

I may provide you our string.h if it's needed, but you may look in 
documentation as well: http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/index.html

Anyway, even in case some (old?) HP-UX versions had strlen() returning int 
(guess it converted to size_t), it's better to have a declaration with size_t 
than no declaration at all.

I've attached new patch. You may ignore it if you choose so (that's just 
warnings after all).
