this behaviour)...
[screen is terminating]

See the last status line:
  The first error is that the option --noscreen is taken as nick.

...
/IRC:connect ReiniUrban irc.freenode.net
works ok then.

Next session:
$ nirc ReiniUrban irc.freenode.net
Attempting to restart from within screen (run nirc --noscreen to skip

 10:20PM -3n_screen on #naim     [Ctrl-N to :SERVER] [IRC (not 
connected)] naim

/IRC:connect ReiniUrban irc.freenode.net

Minor nitpick: Deattaching with Ctrl-D is not possible because of the 
internal key binding to kill-line.

Reattaching from another (puttyCyg) window works ok:
$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
        2776.tty2.reini (Attached)
1 Socket in /tmp/uscreens/S-rurban.

$ screen -d -r 2776.tty2.reini
Other window prints:
[remote detached]

This window gets the screen.
But pressing a key in the new window gets:
assertion "bwin->nwin.logfile != NULL" failed: file 
"/tmp/naim-0.11.8.2.1/src/buddy.c", line 779
