Hello, Everyone :)
I've had exactly the same problem.  I've discovered that if I will
uninstall whatever version of MC that I'm trying and reinstall the
version that ships with Red Hat 8, then the problem goes away.  But if I
reinstall any version newer than the one that ships with Red Hat 8, then
the problem the Myron describes returns.
When I installed Red Hat 8, I installed every package, so if there's a
package on the Red Hat 8 cd's (I bought an official boxed set at
CompUSA), then it's installed on my system.  The only updates I have
installed are the official Red Hat 8 updates.
I'll be looking forward to the solution to this :)
