this is not related to nvidia. It happens whenever you run anything in an mc shell on a console. Go to a VT and start mc, then hit enter over any shell script in mc, or ctrl-o and do a cat on any file, ctrl-o and you get a segfault. Rebuilding mc doesn't help. The problem started around the time cooker introduced glibc-2.3 but the problem may not be related to that. The newer mc-4.6 doesn't show this behaviour but, last time I checked, no one had a decent src.rpm where I could get some "ideas" for packaging. They all basically threw in the 4.6 sources and disabled all patches. This makes mc work on a console but yields other problem when run in an X terminal emulator. - Mark
