Mandrake 7.0 (air) is not vulnerable. Redhat 5.2 is also not
vulnerable (not setuid), as a quick shell into my firewall
noted. I am running 3.07.06 on the aforementioned 5.2 box,
and screen was installed from one of the redhat-provided
RPMs.

It would help for those of us looking into the packages listings
of the various distributions if you provided the earliest
version of screen which has the fix.
