Now here's something curious.  While screen is running and attached, I see

$ ls -l /tmp/uscreens/S-aschulma/
total 1
srwx------  1 ASchulma None 53 Apr 22 12:05 548.console.D77E1BASCHULMA1

But as soon as I detach screen, the socket isn't a socket any more:

$ ls -l /tmp/uscreens/S-aschulma/
total 1
-rw-------  1 ASchulma None 53 Apr 22 12:08 548.console.D77E1BASCHULMA1

wtf??  Of course this prevents reattachment.  This is with Cygwin 1.5.15, 
I don't see the same behavior with 1.5.12.

When is a socket not a socket?
