Can't use screen after emerge

I finished emerge world successfully and did env-update and reboot.
find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*' was done after rebooting and I found nothing different.
After that, all goes well except that I can't use screen (/usr/bin/screen) with message 'seteuid' is not allowed except for root user.

What is going on?

Perhaps a newer version of it is meant only for root? does 'man screen' offer anything?
Does www.gnu.org/software/screen/ offer any help?

This problem was easily solved by
emerge unmerge screen
ebuild /portage/app-misc/screen/screen-3.9.11-r2.ebuild merge
echo "app-misc/screen-3.9.11-r2" >> /etc/profile/packages

the only diffrence between r2, r3 was
addpredict /dev/ptys/*.

I used CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y in kernel compile options.
