Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
pressing ctrl+o to get a subshell while using the kali linux zsh addons on
a slow pc.
on login it lasts 2-3 seconds until the prompt appeares.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
MC window dissapeared but no shell prompt did come up,
on pressing any key mc window came back in front. No subshell possible
Patched subshell.c to get a little bit more time to settle the shell prompt

After the patch the subshell works as expected
