No subshell ifnot root, delayed start with no internet connection

[Joerg Thuemmler <listen vordruckleitverlag de>]

Hi,

I'm new here and as many others do, I will start with a question ;-)

Maybe it's a stupid, well known thing, but if I'm using a newer version 
of mc (e.g. 4.8.13) and I'm not root, I have no subshell, C-o works, but 
immediately vanishes if I press a key. Same thing with mc -U. If I'm 
root, subshell works, setting /usr/bin/mc setuid works too, but is not 
wanted...
Is there a user group I have to be in or some other user rights 
limitation I have to change?
Older versions (4.7...) don't show this behavior.

I use Opensuse linuxes, but seems to me, it isn't related to this.

Another thing is that mc start is delayed, if no internet connection 
exists, seems it's looking for something, maybe updates... no clue, why 
and don't know since which version this is the behavior.

Thx for any answer
