Description:   Opened: 2005-05-15 14:10 0000 
I had a problem with app-misc/mc built with slang (unicode enabled). 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.

utf-8 team might be interested, as this is definitely UTF-8 related bug.
