mc sets process group differently from shell; forgets to close fd# 3

This reminds me of one odd behavior. When i debug a graphical program, 
outputting lots of debugging messaged under gdb and start it directly under 
bash, it works fine. But if I start it from mc (i.e. the shell in mc which I 
get after Ctrl-O), the gdb is stopped to background as soon as I run my 
program in it and it emits its first debugging message to the console (i.e. 
instantly). When I use "fg" to revive gdb, program continues till next 
debugging message in which gdb says the program received SIGTTOU - each 
command of "continue" will them move to next SIGTTOU (next debugging message).

Maybe it is related to this one?
