to get the uptime display working properly, I had to make a slight alteration
to getloadavg.c:

the conditional section delimited by

#ifndef FSCALE
#endif

contained the definition of LDAV_CVT(n)  (((double) (n)) / FSCALE)

I moved the line "#endif /* Not FSCALE.  */ to above the LDAV_CVT define.

The diff (not very informative though) :

119a120,121
> #endif    /* Not FSCALE.  */ /* RHP mod, moved from 4 lines down */
>
123,124d124
<
< #endif    /* Not FSCALE.  */

The hardware (output from uname -a) :

SunOS sunacm 4.1.1 1 sun3

The config.h file :

/*
 * First, decide whether to install screen set-uid to root.
 * This isn't necessary to use screen, but it allows the pseudo-ttys
 * to be set to their proper owner (for security purposes), /etc/utmp to be
 * updated, and /dev/kmem to be accessed to read the load average values.
 *
 * Failing to install it suid root (e.g., if you fear a trojan horse) doesn't
 * have any major disadvantages, except that w(1) and some other utilities
 * will display only "screen" as the current process, and the pseudo ttys
 * (ptys) used for the virtual terminals won't have their owners set.  Screen
 * can provide you some pty security by opening the ptys exclusively, but
 * this has the unfortunate side-effect of keeping your own subprocesses from
 * being able to open /dev/tty.
 *
 * An alternative to installing screen set-uid root is to install it set-gid
 * utmp (with the file /etc/utmp installed to be group-utmp writable) or
 * set-gid kmem (with /dev/kmem set to be group-kmem readable) or some other
 * custom group to give you both.  The final alternative is to omit /etc/utmp
 * updating and the /dev/kmem reading (see the following defines) and simply
 * run screen as a regular program -- its major functions will be unaffected.
 *
 * If screen is going to be installed set-uid root, you MUST define SUIDROOT.
 */

 * If screen is installed with permissions to update /etc/utmp (such as if

 * into /etc/utmp.  This helps to keep you from exceeding a limited-user

 * common subdirectory, such as /tmp or /usr/tmp.  It makes things a little
 * more secure if you choose a directory where the "sticky" bit is on, but
 * this isn't required.  Screen will name the subdirectories "S-$USER"
 * (e.g /tmp/S-davison).
