Q: Why Midhight Commander stopped working on text console?

Hi!

Who can tell my why my Midnight Commander stoped working
on text console?

When I type 'mc', screen goes blank and after couple of
seconds only one character appears, in upper  right corner
of screen - usually it is '|', but sometimes it  is '/'.

When I'm starting Midnight Commander from under X11 (from various
flavours of xterm), it works OK.

I'm using Debian 2.0, but have upgraded a lot of packages from
unstable distribution. Actually, I had upgraded Midnight
Commander itself from unstable distribution, but that did not
help.
