This sounds like you are running 3.2, which still had the pipe based
script. 3.3 has the 4.3BSD script which uses pty's, so you should have
no problem once you upgrade to 3.3.
I believe the man page for script in 3.2 and earlier had a note that
programs that 'needed' to do tty ioctls would not work under script.
Many screen editors (and programs like ksh and tcsh) fall into this
category.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
