Hi there, it seems that there is a serious bug in the MC code. The message is:
1. In KDe console, start MC in terminal mode
2. Several times open and close several different text files in mcedit. Maybe 
it should be done in superuser mode (after "su" command from the user), i 
can't understand. I mean, firstly run su, enter password, then start mc and 
do those things.
3. The very time I exit the mcedit after 3-6(10 ??) files have been opened, it 
hangs completely the whole system. Cursor is not moving, nothing is 
happening. I have to press "Reset"
Well, it appeared after I had upgraded my system (gcc up to 3.2.3, glibc up to 
2.3.2 - all this from Slackware 9.0. Actually, there was almost full CURRENT 
upgrade). I use optimization options for gcc(-mcpu=athlon-xp, 
- -m3dnow,-finline-functions...), I have kernel 2.4.22-xfs(i386),KDE 3.1.3... I 
don't know what to do, last time when it hung it erased some of my user KDE 
settings. I'm not a programmer and can't find what's goin on.
So that's it. What should I do? Should I change compiler version to an older 
one?...
Thanx,
