There was no such possible ID string i could conceive of (the file is  
literally a short list of plainly named mp3 files "eg. AXsomesong.mp3";  
surely "AXso" or some such cannot or should not qualify).  I removed  
ImageMagick (default installed by fedora & unused by me) and the error  
became "identify not found"; identify is called from mc.ext (the only  
entry in mine which begins "include/image") so i commented it out (i  
use F2 on images anyway).

I am just very surprised this has not happened more frequently to more  
people (even if that is just a redhat mc.ext).

A last related question, because while i was about this i decided to  
switch to read-only vim instead of the internal viewer so that i can  
cut & paste, but i would still prefer mcview because it is lighter,  
involves fewer keystokes to "quit" AND looks different when i am  
referring to it while also editing in vim in another window.  I have  
never seen a version of mc (after a decade) that allows cut'n'paste  
from the viewer: is that immutable (eg, the man page implies that -x  
will allow mouse escape sequences altho in practice i don't see any)?  
If so, there you have my number one complaint about what is otherwise  
the greatest filebrowser ever.
