Midnight Commander bug?

Hello.
I'm writing this email to report what I think could be a bug in
Midnight Commander.
The problem is this: sometimes, when I start MC, I receive the message
"Warning: Could'n change to /usr/home/miouser" (/usr/home/miouser is
my home directory of course).
This is very strange because /usr/home/miouser has permissions set as
750, as in the example below.

> ls -l /home/
total 2
drwxr-x---  25 miouser  miouser  1536 May  2 11:47 miouser/

I use a FreeBSD 4.4 system and at the end of the email I have attached
my uname -a and my mc -V outputs (and my kernel config file).
The strange is that MC seems to work *correctly* anyway, so I don't
understand why it complains about the permissions of my home
directory.

Hope this could help to improve your nice program.

Best regards.
