Details:

I found a bug which causes mc to crash with segmentation violation when
trying view any of the /proc/registers files.  This was only tested on
gentoo-2006.1.  I have no knowledge whether this crashes the program on other
distributions or operating systems.  I am currenlty working on an exploit for
this bug in my free time.
