This feels like a dns resolution issue, maybe a missing entry in /etc/hosts if you just did an upgrade, maybe you blew away your hosts or resolv.conf ? I don't use mc, but doesn't it do some sort of ftp or remote file transfer, and may like to know its' hostname/address? Does it maybe take long to ping $(hostname)? you can use ktrace(1) to examine what mc is busy waiting for from the system, if thats the case.
