port midnight commander has problem on OS X 10.5.2

[Frank Binder]

Hi all,

mc cannot change to directories whose names contain underscores.


I am absolutely used to working with "Midnight Commander". Now, on OS X 
10.5.2 with MacPorts 1.600 and the mc version 4.6.0 the above is 
"slightly" bugging me.

When changing to such dirs, the message "Warning: Cannot change to 
<dir>" appears in the shell line, and the UI gets scrambled when these 
warnings get longer. While the panels DO change into those dirs, the 
underlying shell does not (which means that the working dir is not what 
what it should be) , and on "Ctrl-O" the working dir is reset to the 
last dir the shell could follow (and the panels are restored).

Does anyone have the same problem?

I'd be thankful for any suggestions...

Best regards,
Frank
