>Description:
Screen was selected to be installed during a clean install of FreeBSD 4.7.  No mattter which user envokes screen, it quickly comsumes 99% of the cpu.  A top reveals:

last pid:  1657;  load averages:  1.00,  1.00,  1.00    up 1+02:02:09  14:29:00
30 processes:  2 running, 28 sleeping
CPU states: 14.4% user,  0.0% nice, 85.2% system,  0.4% interrupt,  0.0% idle
Mem: 9876K Active, 43M Inact, 21M Wired, 2696K Cache, 22M Buf, 44M Free
Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free

PID USERNAME     PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPUCOMMAND
247 marty         57   0  1780K  1324K RUN     23.6H 99.02% 99.02% screen
332 marty         28   0  1912K   992K RUN      1:07  0.00%  0.00% top

The same problem applies to a dual i386 FreeBSD 4.6 system I'm using.
>How-To-Repeat:
Choose to install screen during the initial install of FreeBSD 4.7 and envoke it.  It will reach 99% CPU usage within seconds.
>Fix:
Remove the 'screen' package.  Instead go to the ports tree after the install and do a 'make install' from there.
