( assuming you meant screen 3.9.5 up there ^^ )

I have no idea :)  Maybe the old version of screen relied on (or was
tolerant to) a bug in the old version of ncurses, and the new screen
expected a more conforming curses implementation?  It looks like there
are quite a lot of changes from 3.9.5 to 3.9.8, but they seem more
related to colors, not line-drawing chars.
