mc problem in recent versions of fedora/rhel

[solarflow99 <solarflow99 gmail com>]

Hi, first i'd just like to say thanks to all the developers and users
of midnight commander, its been probably the most indispensable tool
i've used for years.

Since installing Fedora 21, using xterm I noticed the line and block
characters don't display properly when sshing to another host.  It
works fine on localhost though.  I files a bug about it in redhat
bugzilla, but no one there bothered to look at it.  Has anyone else
noticed this?
