Details:

When I perform search and replace with regular expression checked and "%" in
replacement, I see weird errors.

How to reproduce:

Type "a text" in a text file, move to first character.
Hit F4 (search and replace, check "regular expression" and use "t.*" as seach
and "%" (percent character) as replacement. MC complains about "Replacement
too long". Other replacements containing "%" characted misbehave more or less
... 

When i enter "%d" as a replacement, random number is inserted as replacement.
Seems like "scanf expression" is somehow activated, even though the checkbox
"scanf Expression" is not checked.
