Hi!

Please don't crosspost your messages to more that one mailing list without 
serious reasons.

You forgot to mention the version numbers of the software involved (MC and
bash) and the version of your OS.  This document could be useful for you:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I could reproduce this problem with the CVS version of MC, bash-2.05 and 
RedHat Linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.19-pre5.

I believe this problem is related to another problem.  If you press Ctrl-O
in the editor (you need mc-4.5.55 or a CVS version) and enter "exit" in
the subshell prompt, you will have the same effect.

Apparently, subshell is supposed to be restarted if it dies, but it 
doesn't work for some reason.  I hope to fix this problem before the next 
release.
