I don't know. What shell are you using? By the way, run "ps" while mc is
hanging - you'll see what shell it is running.

The subshell code is quite complicated. I believe it has not been well
tested if the shell is not bash and the OS is not GNU/Linux.

If you want you could try to debug it, but be prepared that you may need
to attach the debugger to a running process instead of running mc from it.
