Which version of MC are you trying to use ? On which platform ? If you're
building MC from sources I guess it'd be quite easy for you to add
'-O0 -g' to CFLAGS so that the resulting executable would contain debug
information. Then you can start MC under gdb and post a backtrace of the
crash i.e. when gdb prompt appears after the crash type `bt' and post the
output to the list.
