screen clobbers PATH



I have asked this elsewhere and got no response, even spent time studying the source and got no response either ;-)

Here is the problem:

On Leopard, in the shell started by /usr/bin/screen, the PATH variable is set to

  /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

All other environment variables, for example MANPATH or CLASSPATH, are copied from the environment of the shell from which screen is started. Only PATH is crippled to this minimalist value.

This did not happen in Tiger, and it does not happen with other builds of screen, for example from Fink.

Does anyone have an explanation for this annoying behavior, or, more importantly, a fix?
