Hi, Vlad!

You really should update to that latest snapshot from
http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/mc/ is you want your bugreports and
feature requests to be useful.

Works in the current version.

I couldn't reproduce it with the current version. In general, if you
report crashes please send the backtrace from gdb.

Let's forget about quick hacks! MC is already full of them! This
functionality is already available in the current code (but not in the
GNOME edition). Another thing to fix, not to add.
