Hi, I've just upgraded the gmc to the latest potato version, but it still has the broken /usr/bin/mc script which calls itself recursively. Also, wouln't it be cleaner if the postinst for this package added an appropriate alias to the /etc/profile and/or /etc/csh.cshrc (and possibly other global shell startup scripts) an alias definition, or a function to call mc in a way which would preserve the exit path of mc? As it is currently done (with the #!/bin/bash script) it should be considered a bug and a waste of resources. The former because the script explicitly requires bash (and all bashisms are supposed to be removed, AFAIR) and the latter because every invocation of mc leaves bash in memory util the user exits. And now every time user executes a command from within mc or just does Ctrl-O another subshell is invoked by MC - that's three copies of bash for one run of MC. When my users fire up 4/5 mc it uses, quite unnecessarily, some memory which doesn't have to be wasted that way. marek
