screen deadlock

[Robert Collins]

 affects ubuntu/screen

I seem to have found a deadlock between vim and screen.

To reproduce:
start screen
start vim inside screen
copy (using screen) lots (say 800+ bytes) of text, enough to make vim
pause when you copy and paste it.
in vim, enter insert mode and paste the text.
There should be a pause while vim syntax highlights it. While it does
this hit ctrl-C (which should make vim stop highlighting).

Instead, it appears to deadlock the screen server process, and it has to
be killed (killing vim and everything else, naturally).

I run into this issue often on Ubuntu 10.04 using screen built ~6 months ago from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/screen.git
