Thanks for the link. I looked at a number of them:

> screen-4.0.1-args.patch

Applied after some change (7ac593d74dfd2243cd60c5d848547ebd9971a8b0).

I didn't include the change in ansi.c: w_NumArgs should never be
negative. If something is causing is to be set to a negative number, then
that's a bug and we need to figure where/why/how that happens, so the
real bug can be fixed.

> screen-4.0.2-maxstr.patch

It looks like MAXSTR has been increased to 512. It can still be increased
more, of course. Is there a bug-report somewhere that requested for this
change? I would like to know exactly what problems the limitations
caused.

> screen-4.0.3-libs.patch

I plan to take a look at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27318 first.

> screen-4.0.3-resize.patch

Already in.

> screen-4.0.3-ipv6.patch

Need to take a closer look.

> screen-4.0.3-stropts.patch

I believe e3b1d2c50a5cc84a0985dbf608b9ee47996b7e47 takes care of this?
(i.e. using HAVE_STROPTS_H)

Cheers,
