Byobu is a frontend for GNU screen (or tmux). The easiest way to 
reproduce it is... (Cygwin 32-bit 20140227)

1. Install byobu on the remote host: http://byobu.co/downloads.html

2. Select screen as backend:
byobu-select-backend screen

3. Run a GNU screen session on remote host via ssh:
ssh -t USER@HOST byobu

4. Press enter multiple times to reach the bottom of the screen.

5. Issue any command (ls, echo whatever) and see that there is no 
visible output
