+    <antrik> tschwinge: hm... haven't seen screen dying in a long time
+    <tschwinge> antrik: It's easy, and goes like this: have a session on one
+      system, log in from another, do screen -x and wait some time.
+    <antrik> I do this regularily. haven't had a crash in ages.

+      time, I wasn't using -x. I often had crashes with screen -r. my
+      impression back then was that it works better when doing -rd -- in fact,
+      I always do that now, so I can't say whether crashes still happen with
+      only -r...)
