There is a new snapshot available which should fix the problem with
screen status bar.

There are still issues with the console buffer and full screen apps
like vim/emacs/less.  If you scroll the buffer while in that mode
then things will get weird.  The solution so far is:  Don't do that.

I'd appreciate it if people would try the current snapshot, paying
attention to console screen issues.
