This issue is easily reproducible by anyone with a sourceforge account. 
Just ssh in and type mc. It will take around 3 minutes to load.

Here is the output of mc -V in an sf ssh shell:

GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.0
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, undelfs
With builtin Editor
Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm and Linux console
With support for X11 events
With internationalization support


Here is the output of top:
