Description

It seems that mc_tmpdir() is using a buffer that is far too small, causing problems on some operating systems like Mac OS.

One example ​http://dennis.dieploegers.de/using-mc-wrapper-sh-on-a-mac/

The buffer should be increased to at least 256 characters.

I created a PR that is supposed to address this issue at ​https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/119

I think this method should rather dynamically allocate the required space, without introducing another (higher, but still) arbitrary limit.

I updated the PR to use MAX_PATH which is much better than approach, at least it will bring this to the same value that is used in many other places in mc.
