problem with screen.rxvt TERM and less |

I built screen 4.0.3 from source, with cygwin patches, on cygwin, with
ncurses 5.7, and rxvt for my terminal emulator.
The 'less' program has an irritating fault in this configuration which
I can't figure out how to work around:
* When using less in a vanilla rxvt window, the screen returns to its
pre-less state after quitting less -- good.
* When using less in a screen-managed window, with TERM=screen.rxvt,
the screen shows the last page displayed by less after quitting
less -- not good.
Do others have this problem? Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
ht
