Bug Description
Binary package hint: screen
While working on the screen-profiles package, we're increasing the usabilty of screen by creating useful profiles that contain a nice status bar across the bottom, providing system information, and doing so in a nicely formatted, colorful manner.
However, we recently hit an arbitrary limit.
It seems that screen has a #define that limits the number of formatting changes on a line to 16.
I'm attaching a patch that increases that limit from 16 to 80. Since 80 is the standard terminal width, this would allow each character across the bottom to be formatted differently.

To reproduce this bug, simply put the following two lines in your ~/.screen/rc:
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{Wr}1%
This string simply prints the numbers 1-20 across the bottom of your screen, alternating colors red and black. You will notice that after number 16, format attributes are simply dropped.
