Hi all,
mc cannot change to directories whose names contain underscores.
The problem can be solved by installing the latest version of mc, which
is 4.6.2-pre1 at the time of writing.

When using macports, the following worked for me:
tar -xzf mc-4.6.2-pre1.tar.gz
cd mc-4.6.2-pre1
./configure --prefix=/opt/local
sudo make install

If you want to avoid installing mc from source and rather wait for the
new version to be released and ported, you might disable the mc subshell
with
mc -u
as described in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113996
(or man mc)

This problem came came up on many operating systems through a newer
version of bash (3.2.17, newer compared to those bash versions used up
to OS X 10.4). It was fixed in the mc code.

I am absolutely used to working with "Midnight Commander". Now, on OS X
10.5.2 with MacPorts 1.600 and the mc version 4.6.0 the above is
"slightly" bugging me.
When changing to such dirs, the message "Warning: Cannot change to
<dir>" appears in the shell line, and the UI gets scrambled when these
warnings get longer. While the panels DO change into those dirs, the
underlying shell does not (which means that the working dir is not what
what it should be) , and on "Ctrl-O" the working dir is reset to the
last dir the shell could follow (and the panels are restored).
Does anyone have the same problem?
I'd be thankful for any suggestions...
Best regards,
Frank
