Checked on Debian Jessie and Debian Sid - always reproduced.

Strace output when pressing F3 on archive (strace -fF -e process -p pidof mc):

I can confirm this as well...
It only recently showed up so its from changes that happened in the last month or so.
For me it occurs while looking at anything that is a binary stream or an .so library file.

It's very strange for me, but I can't reproduce the issue when building MC from source. But on the same system MC from packages gives me an error. I have no idea why this happens. Unfortunately now I have not enough time to digg this issue deeper. Maybe I will check it again next week.

Or maybe somebody have an idea why this issue presents in packages but not presents in source builds?

With some manual bisecting in TIG I've narrowed it down to two commits. (-) non working, (+) working.

Looks like the change was in mc_popen.

Guys, don't tell me about the bug. Tell me about the fix: comment:3.

comment:8 Changed 8 years ago by IceMan

I have tested 3660_view_archive branch - MC from package working fine with this patch, and do not work if I revert patch.

comment:9 Changed 8 years ago by severach

Branch "b941c7c [3660_view_archive]" views archives and pdf fine for me. Took me a minute to learn how to use git in two dimensions.
