Hello!
I have a problem with subshell support from some time on my debian box.
I've strace'd the mc loading. I've put the log here:
http://skyboo.net/mc/strace.log

As you can see there is a timeout in the one before last line.
There is hung for several seconds and then the mc finish loading and
works but I don't have subshell available then.
This problems occurs when working localy on the machine, but on the
contrary when I login via ssh, then it works!
Even more: when I change the shell to /bin/bash (SHELL=/bin/bash)
instead of my zsh then it also works (localy and via ssh)!
Could you please take a look into the log and tell me if this
is a zsh problem?
How can i solve this? I don't like to switch to bash.

regards,
