    Yes, it works great now (I use this version). With LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8
I have no key binding highlights in Bulgarian, but this can be translation
issue.
    A real problem is if you enter a directory with <CR><LF> in the name
with mc - it freezes there. Ex:
	D=$(echo -e 'test\015\012test')
	mkdir "$D"
	cd "$D"
	mc
    At this point trying to get out of this dir or switch panels with
<TAB> does nothing.
    Can someone check if this also happends with 'normal' mc?
