 Hi, 

 This is a known problem with RH72.

 Solutions: either build a newer mc yourself, or 
        chmod u+s /usr/lib/mc/bin/cons.saver
 The 1st one will allow you to see real content of the subshell, the 2nd one
will just cure hangups, but you won't see the real content of subshell when
you do Ctrl-O.
