After having encountered this issue several times, I’m glad I have found a solution on the osdir site.

This solves:

• irssi screen hangs
• ssh timeout hang screens

The workaround for this issue: kill all “old” ssh connections to that screen that are no longer connected.  According to strace, it seems screen is trying to write to the client, which is no longer connected:

write(1, “[22;1H\33[1L\33[1;24r\33[?25l\33[24;11H\33″…, 235 <unfinished …>
