           Summary: screen's 'power detach' function causes bash to crash.
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kennym safe-mail net


Version:           2.1 (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Running KDE4.1 on kubuntu 8.04 from the ppa packages.

To recreate this bug, open a kde4 konsole run screen, then apply the key combination ctrl+a DD (this invokes screen's power detach function) and the error will appear, the tab is then useless. However the screen session does successfully detach so there is no data loss, even within bash sub-shells, i.e. running bash within bash and starting screen on that shell.
This only affects bash; zsh,csh and ksh all function correctly on a power detach.

Logged into a remote machine is not a problem, the session logs out as expected, but on local sessions bash always crashes.
