MC talks of ctime as it was creation time. Is there a specific reason for that? I searched manpage and sourcecode. No hints.Where did you get that source code ? There is no reference to "creation time" in the current source code. You are right though that in the manpage says "creation time".
Indeed there is one:

* info.c: [...] st_ctime is not the creation time,
but the status change time.
And, Pavel, I think mc-devel was the appropriate mailing list, since
this could (and maybe should) be seen as a bug report.
Anyway, the code has been fixed since a long time, and the man page since a few minutes.
