Hello, Jose! Let's return the discussion to the list. I've seen some complaints from users reading the archives that the important pieces of the discussion are missing when the discussion becomes private.

I think it may be a subshell problem, and there are good chances that it's fixed in CVS. At least is was fixed for Cygwin. I have no idea why it happens on your system. Please try the latest snapshot from http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/snapshots/ > 13963 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0 13963 > rt_sigsuspend([] There have been significant changes near this point in subshell.c > lrwx------ 1 japc japc 64 Oct 24 17:03 6 -> /dev/pts/12 > lrwx------ 1 japc japc 64 Oct 24 17:03 7 -> /dev/ptmx This means that the second mc has already created the pseudoterminal for its subshell. If it hangs, it happens quite late in the initialization process, most likely in the subshell code. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
