[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#529590: mc: changing directories floods history with cd "`printf "%b" ...

[Bernhard Kuemel]

Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2-2
Severity: normal


Changing directories with arrow keys floods the command history with 

cd "`printf "%b" '\0057home\0057bernhard\0057t'`"

and the like. This is annoying when looking for previous commands.
