GNU Screen hangs if started over ssh

A long, long time ago, there was a Fink package for GNU screen.  That package never made it past 10.4 transitional.

I’m having issues using Apple’s /usr/bin/screen, and wonder whether it is time to once again have a Fink screen package.  Specifically, screen hangs if I start it after sshing into either of my OS X computers.  I can start screen locally, detach, and connect to it over ssh.  But I can never start screen once sshing into a box.

I see I’m not alone, and I note that someone claims to have identified a fix.

Am I the only one with this problem?  If others have identified a convenient work around, I’d love to learn about it.  If there is no workaround, I’ll have a go at a Fink screen package, unless someone else wants to do that.  Or, is there a working equivalent to screen I can try?

Thank,
