Hi,

I think that's nothing dangerous but plz try this by yourself.

Run mc. Press F9, select Right/Left, select Tree. All is ok so
far, but do the same sequence once more and ... voila, nice
seg fault. Gdb says that there is overflow in strcpy(). Plz check
this out.

$ mc -V
The Midnight Commander 4.5.31
with mouse support on xterm and the Linux console.
Edition: text mode.
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, ftpfs, mcfs.
With builtin Editor
Using S-lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support: as default
With support for background operations

$ uname -a
