Now here's something curious. While screen is running and attached, I see
$ ls -l /tmp/uscreens/S-aschulma/
total 1
srwx------ 1 ASchulma None 53 Apr 22 12:05 548.console.D77E1BASCHULMA1
But as soon as I detach screen, the socket isn't a socket any more:
$ ls -l /tmp/uscreens/S-aschulma/
total 1
-rw------- 1 ASchulma None 53 Apr 22 12:08 548.console.D77E1BASCHULMA1
wtf?? Of course this prevents reattachment. This is with Cygwin 1.5.15,
I don't see the same behavior with 1.5.12.
When is a socket not a socket?
