Hi
Thank you very much for your time. You helped me gather information
before I could create the ticket (now I know it happens with the latest
upstream version too), and I'm kind of relieved that it's not mc's normal
behaviour because it means I may eventually get to fix it in my system. I've
created a new ticket with this information:
http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1860
Thanks all for your work on Midnight Commander
Cheers
