Correct. It is not solved, but we are aware of the problem and 
eventually it will be fixed in the near future. This is particulary 
nasty bug and we haven't come up with a viable solution so far. You 
can see though that this issue and a possible fix have been 
discussed on the MC developers list:

Unfortunately the solution wasn't good enough. So we wait for a 
better solution to show up.

This is a known problem. As a workaround you can hit the 'Enter' key
 and then execute the command.

MC sometimes reject to run a program due to "shell activity", but 
the subshell does currently nothing (no child process executed).
