Here's an interesting/annoying problem with screen:

# screen -list
There are screens on:
        59963.rc5       (Detached)
        53764.mail      (Remote or dead)
        12476.top1      (Remote or dead)
3 Sockets in /tmp/screens/S-mike.

# screen -r mail
There is a screen on:
        53764.mail      (Dead ???)
Remove dead screens with 'screen -wipe'.
There is no screen to be resumed matching mail.

# screen -wipe mail
There are screens on:
        59963.rc5       (Detached)
        53764.mail      (Remote or dead)
        12476.top1      (Remote or dead)
3 Sockets in /tmp/screens/S-mike.

# ls -lt /tmp/screens/S-mike 
total 0
srw-------  1 mike  mike  0 Apr  5 11:39 59963.rc5
srw-------  1 mike  mike  0 Mar 22 13:19 53764.mail
srwx------  1 mike  mike  0 Mar  8 21:09 12476.top

12476.top is live, and can be resumed.  The other two cannot.  Has anyone 
encountered this problem before?  I feel like removing the other two 
files, but just wanted to check.
