Incorrect parsing in command line of MC

[AlexJ]

MC - 4.7.0.2
compiled as i686
without subshell
Target OS: FreeBSD (tried on 6.x, 7.x, 8.0)
Run in SSH terminal session via PuTTy.
===========================================
Defect:

Attempt to execute command:
date "+%Y-%m-%d T %H:%M:%S"
in the command line of MidnightCommander?
return result:
# date "+%Y-%m-/root/.mc/cedit T %H:%M:qqq"
2010-03-/root/.mc/cedit T 08:03:qqq

I believe it was evaluated were as a menu script, since
%d %S was evaluated as internal MC substitution
