     It's fix for subshell. After 4.6.1 I'll try to rewrite subshell
     support for mc.

     I'll see it.

     My words from wiki.
     "I use right terminal settings. Fix for Linux make twinkling on FreeBSD (pchel)."

     twinkling - flashing - glimmer - flicker.

     Patch for Linux is bad for FreeBSD. '#ifdef __linux__' is
     solution, but see upper.

     'head' from fix is unportable. Maybe 'sed'?

     And I can't reproduce it. I need a test case for fish testing.
