Details:

It can be easily reproduced. To reproduce:

put below line in a startup file (screen.run)

      chdir /tmp

Now start the screen using
      
      screen -c screen.run

The screen should start, now detach it using "Ctrl-A d"
Try to re-attach to the screen

   $ screen -r
   Unable to open "screen.run".

   $ screen -r
   There is no screen to be resumed.

The original screen is gone, will not show up in "ps -ax" either.
