Hey all,

Has anyone else noticed since the new file package update a couple weeks
ago, if you use mc, going into a dir with underscores throws up warnings
Warning: Cannot change to /path/to/dir_ectory
however it still enters it? But destroys the screen where you need to
refresh and it kicks you out?

I have seen this on all slackware 11.0 boxes with the latest file patch
and I know it never existed prior to that, as it's ok on boxes with no
patch applied. I kind of uniform everything here, just curious if
anyone else sees the same thing or if its with my particular setups.

google mc underscrore bug finds:

http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-bash.../msg02485.html

The bash update caused the problem. Sounds like MC can be upgraded to fix
the problem. You could submit it to Patrick V. I don't use MC so it's not
a big deal to me.

In currently patched Slackware 11.0 it is still a problem. Temporarily
I downgraded to the previous version of bash, that helps (but possibly
ruins something else)

In Slack-11.0, I am using mc 2007-01-24-03. I don't see a problem of the
kind you describe.

Thanks, it seems Pat has not got around to patching 11 yet, but has
'-current', I'll give him a nudge on the weekend if he's not released it.

Did you upgrade the file package as per recent security notice?

file-4.20-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz 04-Apr-2007 05:55

Yeah it happened to me. I upgraded to slack-current and the underscore
problem popup up.

I found that I needed to recompile mc (using the cvs branch), and

../configure --enable-charset

and that fixed it.

Now I can't say whether it was compiling against the new glibc, the cvs
version, or adding the --enable-charset that did it.

(Or maybe it is just dumb luck :-) )
