Details:

Pressing "ENTER" on a filename should execute the action associated with the
file extension, but it doesn't work for me; I only get an error BEEP.

>From 'strace' I discovered that...

temp file for execution is created:

30748 open("/tmp/mc-daniel/mcextuVVMZb",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 5

but the exec() get the filename truncated:

30753 execve("zsh", ["zsh", "-c", "/bin/sh /tmp/mc-daniel/mcextuVVM"...], [/*
62 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

As you can see, two letters are missing from the filename:
/tmp/mc-daniel/mcextuVVMZb
/tmp/mc-daniel/mcextuVVM

I get the same behaviour on Slackware (clean build) and Gentoo (ebuild with
patches), while on OpenBSD this work fine; also, this bug occurs with version
4.6.0 and 4.6.1.
