It would be nice to debig it in gdb, at least run "where" after it 
crashes.  Of course, debugging the current version would be more useful.

Little tip: it's easier to debug mc in gdb if you use flags -a (ascii
preudographics), -b (black/white) and -u (no subshell) - you are less
likely to end up with unreadable text in gdb.

Try connecting to that host, but to a different directory.  You can add 
directory name after the hostname.

Yes, that would be a good idea.  I committed a patch yesterday that fixes 
upload of large files to fish.
