Occasionally hitting F4 will lock up the tty completely. I have to switch to another tty and kill -9 the mc process. This isn't always reproducable, and seems to happen at random, but it does happen quite a lot, like 1 in 10 or something.. I've tried uninstalling the RPM, and compiling 4.5.38 myself, and it still did the same thing, so I believe the problem could be in one of the shared libraries. regards, Dave.
I am totally unable to reproduce this at all. Sorry...
