When I use mc in utf-8 terminal with utf-8 locale (LANG=ru_RU.utf-8) it crashes on exit leaving terminal in black-and-white state. I took a look to slang shipped with Fedora Core 3 and found one tiny slang patch which is missing from Gentoo's slang-1.4.9-r1.ebuild (patch name is slang-1.4.5-utf8-segv.patch). I have created slang-1.4.9-r2 with this patch added and found out the problem with mc is now gone. So I think it makes sense to add this patch. How to reproduce ---------------- 1. Build slang and mc with the following USE flags: sys-libs/slang-1.4.9-r2 -cjk +unicode app-misc/mc-4.6.0-r13 +X -debug +gpm -ncurses +nls +samba +slang +unicode 2. Open X terminal (I used both gnome-terminal and uxterm) 3. export LANG=ru_RU.utf8 mc (press F10 and Enter) 4. See mc crash. Solution -------- Rebuild slang with the attached patch. kir@sacred.ru 2005-05-15 14:17:15 0000 Created an attachment (id=58972) slang patch fixing mc coredump This patch is taken from Fedora Core 3 kir@sacred.ru 2005-05-15 14:26:27 0000 utf-8 team might be interested, as this is definitely UTF-8 related bug. kir@sacred.ru 2005-05-15 14:26:51 0000 You might me interested as well. lanius@gentoo.org 2005-05-16 07:48:44 0000 added to slang-1.4.9-r2 58972 2005-05-15 14:17 0000 slang patch fixing mc coredump slang-1.4.5-utf8-segv.patch text/plain ZGlmZiAtcnUgc2xhbmctMS40LjUvc3JjL3Nsc21nLmMgc2xhbmctMS40LjUtbmV3L3NyYy9zbHNt Zy5jCi0tLSBzbGFuZy0xLjQuNS9zcmMvc2xzbWcuYwkyMDAyLTA3LTI1IDAwOjA5OjAwLjAwMDAw MDAwMCAtMDQwMAorKysgc2xhbmctMS40LjUtbmV3L3NyYy9zbHNtZy5jCTIwMDItMDctMjUgMDA6 MDQ6MDIuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wNDAwCkBAIC0zNjksNyArMzY5LDEwIEBACiAKICAgbWF4X2xlbiA9 IFN0YXJ0X0NvbCArIFNjcmVlbl9Db2xzOwogICBsZW4gPSBUaGlzX0NvbDsKLSAgcCA9IFNMX1Nj cmVlbltUaGlzX1JvdyAtIFN0YXJ0X1Jvd10ubmVldyArIGxlbiAtIFN0YXJ0X0NvbDsKKworICAg ICAgIAorICBwID0gU0xfU2NyZWVuW1RoaXNfUm93IC0gU3RhcnRfUm93XS5uZWV3OworICBpZiAo bGVuID4gU3RhcnRfQ29sKSBwICs9IGxlbiAtIFN0YXJ0X0NvbDsKICAgcHJldiA9IDA7CiAKICAg Zm9yIChpID0gMDsgaSA8IG47IGkrKywgc3RyKSB7Cg==
