After the select/poll change, closing a window in GNU screen takes
about 10 second if the program running in that window was either
/bin/sh, /bin/csh, or /bin/tcsh.  Top doesn't take 10 second to terminate,
so it appears like specific to shells, but bash from pkgsrc is also not
affected.
I attached gdb to the backend process of GNU screen and found that
the 10-second delay is caused by the call to select() in sched().

Cheers.
