 Sorry about the lack of details, but what happens is:

 if I ssh into my Mac (mini) then start a screen, then I disconnect and
 reattach later from another terminal (possibly another machine), then I
 open a new shell in that screen. That shell will have no directory
 services. In particular it won't be able to figure out the username from
 the uid, so the prompt won't show the username for instance.

 I have seen it on 10.5 and 10.6, and the native version of screen in
 /usr/bin shows no such bug.
