Hello Yury V. Zaytsev,

The it was a Backport from the previously Maintainer...  because I  have
myself not compiled mc since 2005

Maybe forget this bug "silently", because Squeeze is very  near  and  it
seems to run stable already

I am now preparing the switch to Squeeze, which mean, the  arround  6000
Workstations from my (mainly french) customers will switch from Etch  to
Squeeze and this will bring a bunch of differences...

No time to track old software.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
