Not sure what's happening to your mc, but a few things that i noticed in
the past about mc when I had lockups similar.. 

mc seems to very sensitive to the information in /etc/hosts 

Mouse configuration can upset it..   gpm  and maybe Xwindows running on
another terminal 

Just some ideas where to look...

mc needs write access to ~/.mc dir in your home directory
