GNU screen won't run; "chown tty: no such file or directory"

[Jeff Schenck <schenck at alum dot mit dot edu>]

Hello,

When trying to run screen, I get the following errors: "chown
tty: No such file or directory" in the status bar, followed by
"Sorry, could not find a PTY".  Then it exits.  I get the same
error in all terminal types I've tried -- rxvt-native, xterm, and
mintty.  I'm running cygwin version 1.7.9 on a Windows XP (64 bit
machine).  Included is the output of cygcheck -svr.  I've looked
through your docs, mail archives, and Google, but not found a
solution.

Thanks very much for your help.

Regards,
Jeff Schenck
