Opinion seems to be divided. If this is the case, then I don't understand why the problem does not occur when mc is built with slang.

Edit: I don't think the problem is busybox as I am using bash. I was only able to reproduce the problem on the N900 with subshell (Ctrl-O) enabled, which required changing my default shell. See steps to reproduce in comment #57.

From the upstream ticket, the problem is reported in Gentoo as well.
Remember to build mc with ncurses and run mc as root (sudo mc).
