mc-4.6.1a-0.11.FC4 1. Create "mc" directory 2. Change directory to "mc" 3. Create ".eDonkey2000" directory 4. Create ".overnet" symlink pointing to ".eDonkey2000" 5. Copy ".overnet" symlink to "/tmp" BUT check "Stable Symlinks" in copy dialog. 6. Watch mc crash How "mc" directory should look: [marcin@drosera mc]$ ls -la total 4 drwxrwxr-x 4 marcin marcin 128 Sep 13 00:40 . drwxr-xr-x 79 marcin marcin 3816 Sep 13 01:05 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 marcin marcin 48 Sep 13 00:39 .eDonkey2000 lrwxrwxrwx 1 marcin marcin 12 Sep 13 00:40 .overnet -> .eDonkey2000
Created attachment 118751 [details] Patch to fix the segfault while creating a symlink. Marcin, thanks for filing the report. Here we go with a quick fix for this. I'll backport it to the upsream mc and send it to mc-devel as well.
