hi,

 I compiled and installed mc-2005-05-21-03 with "-g -O0" on a Linux
 2.6.12-based system.

 The final ./configure output was:

   Configuration:
   
    Source code location:       .
    Compiler:                   gcc
    Compiler flags:             -O0 -g

                                cpiofs, extfs, tarfs, ftpfs, fish, undelfs
    Screen library:             S-Lang library (installed on the system)
    Mouse support:              gpm and xterm
    X11 events support:         yes
    With subshell support:      yes
    Internal editor:            yes
    Support for charset:        no




 I started mc with gdb an dgit the following backtrace:
 (my personal $HOME/.mc was not active at that moment.)
