If you untar the mc tarball and run a make the result should be a binary
with debug symbols included. Run src/mc from the root of the build
directory.

I believe many package managers strip debug symbols. On RedHat/Fedora
you can install separate debuginfo packages to (re)include the symbols.

$ gdb <path to the mc instance running in the other tty> <pid of that mc
instance>

Establish the pid of the process you want to debug using
$ ps aux | grep mc

Once you attach the debugger the execution of the attached to process
gets interrupted. Mail the output of the bt command.
