2065	mc crashes when entering a deb file created from mc	Graham		"This is a weird one. If you enter a deb file, you can navigate around the file and view its contents fine. Now, if you have created a deb file from mc or go and get an official mc deb package from, say, Debian's repository, then you navigate to #deb/CONTENTS/usr/bin with the latest mc (4.7.1), mc will crash. mc 4.7.0.3 isn't affected by this bug, and I can navigate through the same deb file just fine. Again, this doesn't seem to affect deb files of other packages, just mc's.

Steps to reproduce:

1 - Go and get an mc deb file from Debian (http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mc/mc_4.7.0.1-1_i386.deb)

2 - With mc 4.7.1, go to the file downloaded (in our case, mc_4.7.0.1-1_i386.deb)

3 - Enter into the file, you'll see the directory structure

4 - Now navigate to #deb/CONTENTS/usr/bin (going to other directories in the deb file doesn't seem to crash mc)

5 - Watch mc crash

6 - Restart mc and get another deb that's not *mc* and has a /usr/bin directory inside (I chose http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mawk/mawk_1.3.3-11.1_i386.deb)

7 - Enter the package and navigate to #deb/CONTENTS/usr/bin

8 - Contents will be displayed and mc will work fine

This is only happening for mc 4.7.1. Version 4.7.0.3 works fine in respect to this bug. Also this crash also happens when I navigate through my own created mc deb packages, so it's not just an issue with the packages found at the Debian repository mentioned above, but seemingly any deb file that is created from mc.

I'm using Debian Lenny and compiled 4.7.1 with the following options: ./configure --with-glib2 --without-ext2undel --enable-charset --without-samba --with-screen=slang"	defect	closed	major	4.7	mc-vfs	4.7.1	invalid		zaytsev
