[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#774135: mc: segfault for SFTP VFS

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: mc
Version: 3:4.8.13-3
Severity: important

I just was trying to use SFTP by entering
“cd /sftp://user@host” into the mc command line.

I got a red pop-up window saying: Error

11: sftp: an error occurred while reading ~/.ssh/config: Resource temporarily unavailable

Then I acknowledged it and mc segfaulted. The core dump
is not helpful due to lack of debug symbols, of course.
