Details:

When I execute Screen sessions I have a lock on /etc/utmp, so I can't execute
new Screen and I can't connect root even on console. With lsof I can see the
process screen who is locking /etc/utmp and if I kill it, freeze stop.

On AiX 6100-09-07-1614 all is OK

On Aix 6100-09-09-1717 lock on /etc/utmp at the firt screen session

On AiX 7200-01-02-1717 , the lock appears sometime but not everytime, I can't
say why, it seems to be random.
