screen-4.6.0 regression: within su: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/

Hi,

I often use screen within su - username sessions, so that active
terminal (e.g. xterm) is owned by a user different from one using
su, e.g.:

su - test
screen

This worked fine before 4.6.0 (up to 4.5.1), with 4.6.0 I have:

$ su - test
$ screen
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/14' - please check.

/dev/pts/14 is indeed not owned by user test, but this way screen
have worked fine for as long as I can remember, so this access
should not be mandatory.

Any way to return the old behaviour?

Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
