screen not freezing up nor turning zombie, but i got the error described
above.  it happens reliably.  i just manufactured Ubuntu 14.04.  when
exiting using ^A^D it does exactly what this bug describes.  my screen
is then lost completely (no longer exists), then i get logged out.  the
commands i'm running are:

byobu-screen -d -m -L -a -t amp703 -S amp703 -T xterm-color
byobu-screen -d -r amp703

i then type ^A^D it hangs for about 10 seconds.  it then returns this:

Error: Cannot find master process to attach to!

my PS1 appears as would normally happen after a command completes, but
then i am logged out immediately through no action of my own complete
with the word "logout" as if the ^D part was interpreted by my shell.

sure enough, if i just type ^A by itself within byobu, after 10s it
drops to my shell with the master process error above.
