Segmentation fault on startup

Possible it is a hardware specific error: mc works fine on some other systems with equivalent software installation.

This is a kernel specific. MC's code for /proc/self/mountinfo does not works with some kernels of p6.
kernel-image-el-smp-2.6.32-alt31 - fail
kernel-image-ovz-el-2.6.32-alt88.M60P.1 - works

So, mc should be build without /proc/self/mountinfo support. Not a bug for mc.

mc with patch starts successfully with 2.6.32-el-smp-alt24(i586), thanks.
