That fix is in SUSE's mc-posix_options.diff and part of the patches I am
checking to see which need to be submitted to CVS.

Using CVS is not that difficult. In general it is much more helpful to
*do* check whether a fix has been applied before reporting an issue.
This saves others the time to check. TIA.
