Details

as written in blfs wiki:

There seems to be a breakage on the newer glibc (I am using 2.5 from CLFS development) and some of the locales. Specifically, function isalpha() renders different result for the subshell change directory function in the Midnight Commander. MC does change directory in the panel but not in the subshell and writes: "Warning: Cannot change to directory ...".

it happens in Arch's mc under bash as well. the fix proposed by lfs wiki works as intended:

sed -i "s|isalpha|\!isdigit|" src/subshell.c

paste it before make in PKGBUILD, works like a charm.
This task depends upon

huh, while it did fix entering directories containing "_", it broke those with "!" (entering, for example, "!tmp" hangs mc completely). it would seem that this problem needs way more fixing. ;)

I think in 0.8 this bug and #5546 should have been fixed:-( Is there any developer assigned to mc?

Anybody looking in to this per chance? It's a bit annoying.

Probably the devels want to celebrate the 1st birthday of this bug :-(

Sorry all. There seem to be a lot of mc issues in here, and I need to get to all of them at some point. Again, I apologize
