This is weird.

As soon as directory (e.g. '/usr/local/bin') contains the file
'ipfirereboot', 'mc' crashes while searching for content 'flush' (e.g.).

Thus, I would say, 'mc' has problems searching in (specific) binaries -
searching in '/usr/bin' has the same effect.

And:

The following 'paxctl'-options had NO effect:

...
root(a)ipfire: /usr/bin # paxctl -v /usr/bin/mc
PaX control v0.9

- PaX flags: -p-s-m-x-e-- [/usr/bin/mc]
        PAGEEXEC is disabled
        SEGMEXEC is disabled
        MPROTECT is disabled
        RANDEXEC is disabled
        EMUTRAMP is disabled
...

Searching in text-only files is ok, but as soon as directory contains
the above file (or something similar), 'mc' crashes.

This does NOT happen on my devel with 'mc 4.8.15'... ;-)

Best,
Matthias
