[Bug 1435899] [NEW] mkfifo /var/run/screen/S-user/xxxx.pts-yy.hostname failed

[gregrwm]

Public bug reported:

if /run/screen/S-user exists, kill -chld recreates the fifo.

if /run/screen/S-user does not exist, kill -chld kills screen.  this is
not very robust.

if screen can't be bothered to recreate the directory, it could at least
have the courtesy to refrain from destroying itself.
