Description of problem:
mc-4.5.55-12 from RedHat 8.0 exhibits a problem with the subshell which didn't
occur with mc-4.5.51 from RedHat 7.3.

The problem is that at every change of directory, the subshell exists with some
error, after communicatting a lot with the parent mc for every path component of
the new or old (I can't tell) location. This results in a delay of ~1-2 seconds
on deeply nested directories - which is annoying, to say the least. The old mc
didn't produce any delay (on this scale).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.5.55-12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mc
2. go to, for example, /usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-5.4.7/www/Magick++, which is a
path with many entries
3. navigate up/down in the hierarchy, you will see the delay
4. do a strace -fF -s 250 -p <pid> on the mc process, the exit of the child is
visible, after a lot of strange communication with the parent process (mc itself).

Actual Results:  Subshell exists, instead of changing the cwd to the new location.

Expected Results:  Subshell should just change its cwd.

Additional info:

My system is RedHat 8.0 + updates, but with kernel from www.kernel.org + xfs,
and with devfs. A strace will be posted after this bug entry.
