If so, then we really should direct the output of "mc -P" somewhere else.  
That's a security issue too.  There are so many places where mc can write 
to stdout, and in some of those places the output can be affected by 
compromized remote servers.  Then we feed it to the shell.  Sounds very 
unsafe.

Looks like another issue for 4.6.0.
