Description
Problem
GNU screen has an internal command called resize which optionally takes a signed or unsigned integer as an argument. When supplied an unsigned integer, resize resizes a window region to the number of lines specified.
In the current Macports build of GNU screen, attempting resize n results in the error message arguments munged and fails to resize the window region. A quick grep of the source shows that this error message is not present in the original code, but is present in the popular vertical split patch.
Proposed Solution
Compiling GNU screen without the vertical split patch solves the problem. Since this is the case, I would like to submit that either the patch should be fixed, or perhaps its inclusion in the build should be optional via a variant.
Since I do not like the vertical split patch myself, I would like to see it offered as a variant and off by default.
