Midnight commander path bug

Hi. I just installed, using the Rudix package, midnight commander on  
my Intel 8-core Mac Pro.

I was *delighted*, as I use MC on all my linux systems, and missed it.

However, in navigating directories, I found that I could not navigate  
into these:

           /Users/abcdefghijk1/src/bens/dbt/release_1.0
           /Users/abcdefghijk1/src/bens/dbt/r_1.0


...but that I *could* navigate into these:

           /Users/abcdefghijk1/src/bens/dbt/r1.0
           /Users/abcdefghijk1/src/bens/dbt/r_1

It looks like a path length bug. Waaaay too short.

Here is the output of mc -V:

GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish
With builtin Editor
Using the ncurses library
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm
