Not so fast. <g> When I hit Enter on /CONTENTS I get
/.. 0
and that's it.

Thanks to Paul, Dale, David and Dimitri for your help. I certainly
understand things better now and it seems that the problem is not in mc at
all. I just wiped every mc related file from my box and installed Paul's
mc_4.0-linux-1_i386.deb and it behaves in exactly the same way. There is
a lot of disk activity when I hit Enter on a .deb so I think the file is
being opened. I just don't get to see the result.
