--Screen is unable to launch after reboot, gives the above error

--This is a fresh install (as of 2011.0611; has been thru a few ' apt-get update ' cycles, but has not been dist-upgraded yet) of AntiX on a 600MHz HP Omnibook 500 laptop with 256 MB RAM

' cat /etc/issue '

--After reboot, the error message comes up consistently and works OK until the next reboot, if I manually set the chmod on the directory to 777.

--I am starting screen from either TTY1 or TTY2, or SSH session as follows: ' screen -aAO '
