2416	Closing the window with mc leaves it in background consuming 100% CPU	zap		"I've compiled mc 4.7.4 on Nokia N900 (debian-based Maemo5 OS) with ncurses support. When you close the terminal (gnome-terminal based) with Midnight running in it, the mc process will remain in background, consuming 100% CPU.

I've connected to the running mc process with gdb, here's the backtrace:

{{{
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x400432f0 in _nc_wgetch () from /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5

}}}

So, mc is still trying to read the keyboard, despite the fact that stdin has been already closed.

- getch() returns -1
- tty_lowlevel_getch() returns -1
- get_key_code returns -1 as well

then in getch_with_delay() it gets this:

{{{
657	        c = get_key_code (0);
658	        if (c != -1)
659	            break;
660	        /* Failed -> wait 0.1 secs and try again */
661	        try_channels (1);
}}}

so it calls getch() again and again, despite the fact that getch() returns EOF."	defect	closed	major		mc-tty		duplicate					no branch
