mc-4179-cid-background.c-fix-argument-cannot-be-negative.patch​

I think the following patch is more simple:

src/background.c

@@ -281 +281 @@
 
     if (to_child_fd == -1)
         message (D_ERROR, background_process_error, "%s", _("Unknown error in child"));
-
-    /* Handle the call */
-    if (type == Return_Integer)
+    else if (type == Return_Integer)
     {
+        /* Handle the call */
+
         int result = 0;
 
         if (have_ctx == 0)

mc-4179-cid-editcmd.c-fix-dereference-before-null-check.patch

I think the test

   if (edit->search == NULL)

in edit_do_search() can be just removed or replaced with assert to catch such case (can it occurs?).

[and]

yes, your approach is more nice and simple. :)

mc-4179-file.c-fix-deadcode.deadstores-warning.patch

Probably something is incorrect in fix of #4027. Extra testing is required.
