mc starts as alias for:

}}}

and file content is:
{{{#!sh
# cat /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh
MC_USER=`id | sed 's/[^(]*(//;s/).*//'`
MC_PWD_FILE=""${TMPDIR-/tmp}/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$""
/usr/bin/mc -P ""$MC_PWD_FILE"" ""$@""

if test -r ""$MC_PWD_FILE""; then
        MC_PWD=""`cat ""$MC_PWD_FILE""`""
        if test -n ""$MC_PWD"" && test -d ""$MC_PWD""; then
                cd ""$MC_PWD""
        fi
        unset MC_PWD
fi

rm -f ""$MC_PWD_FILE""
unset MC_PWD_FILE
unset MC_USER
}}}

When I start mc on host1 it start normally and I can use C-o combination to go back to shell and use commands as usual.

But when I start mc on host2 I have a screen like this:
