[parisc-linux] Cannot access '/dev/pts/143862': Value too large for defined data type

[Helge Deller]

I'm using the "screen" command regulary on HPPA with a 2.6 kernel, but sometimes I get the error message:

d036493@hw1306:~ > screen
Cannot access '/dev/pts/143862': Value too large for defined data type

What's the problem ?
Can screen not cope with the "high" (>16bit) pid/uid values ?
If yes, does screen needs to rebuild and could someone ask to rebuild it ?

Thanks,
Helge

I don't know, but I see this with ssh too...
