Bugzilla Bug 153925

Hi,

mc won't change into directories that contain a "_" or other "exotic"
characters when running in bash-3.2.

upstream is already aware of this bug. I'm posting this here so that Gentoo
won't miss the fix when there is one that is accepted upstream.

Cheers

I made a new ebuild containing the patch provided by Andrey Skvortsov upstream.

No ill side-effects, here ... please test it!

Hold it! ... Developer Leonard den Ottolander kindly replied to my entry on
`mc's bug page, like: 

Mehmet, instead of using the attached patch that breaks compatibility with bash
< 3.2 you might want to use the hack/patch that I posted to the mc-devel list
in relation to this report.

That patch is almost identical to this one, but by escaping numbers as well it
remains compatible with bash > 2.05b.

I dug around, found the mentioned hack, made a new patch with a new ebuild:
C'mon fellows, give it a try ;)

I've tested on amd64 and it works at least for the directories with a '_' in
the name. I'm using bash 3.2.3(1)-release

I tested on a ~x86 with bash-3.2.3(1)-release and its happy viewing
~/tst_tst/tst_tst .

Imported into CVS, thanks for the patch :)
