VFS: tar file inside of a tar file crashes mc

Hallo!

Since Midnight Commander version 4.6.1, there is a problem with VFS:

Tab into a tar file that contains another tar file and then into the
included tar file. (tar file inside tar file, or maybe VFS inside VFS)
Then leave all VFSs.

Now wait until mc frees VFSs by itself or open "Active VFS list" dialog
and hit "Free VFSs now" twice.

Midnight Commander will crash.


This bug is present in mc 4.6.1 and in current CVS (as of today, 17. 
Nov. 2007).

The old version 4.6.0 works fine!



With best regards

Jürgen Heinrich
