Cygwin Screen Resume Fails Without Message

cygwin;gnu-screen

I'm running some apps in screen under cygwin. However, when trying to reattach to the screen via 'screen -r', 'screen -x', and 'screen -RR' nothing appears to happen and I just get a new prompt line, no error messages or nothing.

'screen -ls' does list the screen as Detached.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is sometimes in the not-so-great terminal emulation of cygwin's terminal; All these problems went away for me once I switched to using the fork of putty patched to connect to a local cygwin process like bash.
