Straight from the tarball.

Okay, I'll try to take a look at those and weed out the pkgsrc-specific
patches from the screen-related patches, and apply the latter.  Still
it would be better to have corrections and/or ifdefs in screen's base
code rather than hiding them in pkgsrc if that is the origin of the problem.
(If it's an OS-specific problem, then I should send a pr to NetBSD.org).

Thanks for the heads up.
