Description Radek Bíba 2006-11-24 14:18:42 UTC
Description of problem:
SSIA

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mc-4.6.1a-30.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. occupy all space in /tmp (or other $TMPDIR)
2. run mc
  
Actual results:
mc starts looping and printing:
Cannot create temporary directory /tmp/mc-radek: No space left on device (28)
and after a while, it segfaults

Expected results:
A gentle error message? A 'light' mode without using /tmp?

Additional info:
As a matter of fact, I just wanted to use mc to clean things up and free some
space but it refused to start :(
