the current screen(1) in TW sets a new TERM variable "screen.xterm" instead of just "screen" (or whatever it was before). If one connects to a SLE12 host and tries to connect to an existing screen session the attach will fail because "TERM=screen.xterm" is not known. Please restore old behaviour or fix existing installations by providing new termcap/terminfo/termwhatever defines for the new screen variant.
