Question about screen

[Dave Buchthal]

I have a question about the screen program which came through
comp.sources.unix a while back.  I am working on a Sun Sparc
with OS version 4.0.3c.  When I invoke screen, everything
works as expected, except a "finger dbuchtal" causes a core
dump where "finger", "finger -l", "who" and "what" work
correctly.  I have not yet set the suid bit, as suggested,
because I am still testing it before installation.  Is this the
source of my problems, and is the suid necessary for proper
usage of the program?  Please confine all responses to EMail:
I will post a summary if there is general interest.
