Well, it claims that the memory that viewer filename is pointing to is 
freed in set_display_type(), but I have no idea why this is happening, and 
why viewer is even involved here in the first place. Also, do you have a 
clue as to what Ctrl+x g is supposed to do?

Under valgrind, mc starts rather slowly for me in /usr/bin, but I can't 
reproduce it on 4.8.19...
