The strace output suggests that the subshell is being killed by a SIGPWR signal. I cannot tell why this signal is being sent to the subshell though. Maybe the OS you are running on your embedded device is sending this signal for some specific purpose and expects the application to deal with it... In any case the fact that the subshell is not working on your platform is not a bug in MC. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
