Let me hear how that goes? :-)

Woo, funky bug, I wonder how long that one has been around. :-)

Hm, that must be some combination of factors, I use 'screen' to 3 muds,
2 of which use the net-package, 1 uses vanilla DGD, and I have had no
trouble with screen?

Oh, just in case:

| Could the dgd netpackage distributor please change this? 

It'll be in the next patch.
