Reattach problems

Hello,

  I installed screen from the URL in your post, but reattaching
neither hangs nor succeeds. Immediately after I detach a session,

screen -r says:

There is a screen on:
There is no screen to be resumed.

screen -ls thinks for a while and reports:

There is a screen on:
1 Socket in /tmp/uscreens/S-Ilya.

Am I missing something? Is this yet another bug? Any suggestions?

(I run screen from "Cygwin bash shell", no rxvt's, Windows 2000,
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 ilya 1.5.7(0.109/3/2) 2004-01-30 19:32 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin)

   Thanks!
                                  Ilya.
