Oh, fuck yes. That's the problem. Don't EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER stick 
any local-session-state information on anything but a local drive. The 
default for screen is "/tmp", and if "/tmp" is NFS-mounted then odds 
are good you're going to take it up the rear entry somewhere or other 
anyway. NFS is a source of so much hate even if you're just sticking 
plain files on it. Named pipes ... crikey.

If for some reason you're running a screen session on a dickless 
workstation ... oh, christ ... just don't. Just ... don't ...

And a +2 hate bonus for Apple leaving "crikey" and "dickless" out of 
its spelling dictionary.
