There is a new snapshot available which should fix the problem with
screen status bar.
There are still issues with the console buffer and full screen apps
like vim/emacs/less. If you scroll the buffer while in that mode
then things will get weird. The solution so far is: Don't do that.
I'd appreciate it if people would try the current snapshot, paying
attention to console screen issues.
