These checks only seves for the purpose to reload the archive contents 
when one want to open the same archive and the archive access permissions 
has changed in the meantime. This can't work as long as they are really 
out of order.

I my eyes these two (vfs_uid and vfs_gid) should be set to the mc's user 
uid and gid.

Any other suggestions?
