Hi Pavel,
[I hope to find time and test release candidate this weekend]
One thing which may be simple to fix:
On my machine I have:
$ ls -l /software
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 26 12:23 /software -> /auto/software
If I cd into /software while I am in mc, and then
I run any command, it is run in *resolved dir*:
$ pwd
/auto/software
It differs from what happens under e.g. shell:
sh-3.1$ cd /software
sh-3.1$ pwd
/software
Why mc resolves dir and cd'es into it before it forks a child?
