Hi,

I think that's nothing dangerous but plz try this by yourself.

Run mc. Press F9, select Right/Left, select Tree. All is ok so
far, but do the same sequence once more and ... voila, nice
seg fault. Gdb says that there is overflow in strcpy(). Plz check
this out.

$ mc -V
The Midnight Commander 4.5.31

Edition: text mode.
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, ftpfs, mcfs.
