[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#544996: mc with quick view will freeze and alloc all mem if resized in an xterm

[jaz]

Package: mc
Version: 2:4.7.0-pre1-3
Severity: important

Hi,

see here: http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1504

1. in X open xterm
2. start mc in it with quick view enabled
3. resize window

the contents of the window will disappear and mc will not 
respond because it's busy allocating memory until it's killed

iv'e been able to reproduce this on several machines

i'll try to patch mine with the stuff from the url above,

if everything goes well i'll submit patch 

cheers, jaz
