Bah... I applied it accidentally with other patch already, and it
doesn't want to revert due to conflicts :(
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/commit/?h=screen-v4&id=e9e78d9b2b413337d9f783ad9a514c8accd25ac9
And I don't want to make the whole thing into mess of reverts and
reapplies, so it's already in tree.

Also people wanting to attach to older session can use a workaround:
$ ps a | grep SCREEN
$ /proc/$pid_from_above/exe -r
to reattach
