Hey Andreas! :)

Would you mind to send me your .mc folder as .tar.gz in private? Then I
can try to reproduce this with your settings.  Using my settings there
is no error at all.. I can execute every executable I want.

Mh... to be honest mc only really execute it as ./$exec on the shell.

No.. not really. We also tried on the upstream site to reproduce this
issue but we all (8 guys) failed to reproduce this. 

If you could give us some more hints how to reproduce this, this would
really help us.

Sorry for that ;-)
