Hi,
Hello,
this doesn't have anything to do with PaX. It's just a bug in mc.
Probably has this problem with files that have the SUID bit set?!
Perhaps. Will look at this when I have the time again.
Did you try to update mc?
I tested with several versions and clean compilations - its always the same. On the 'Devel' machine (Ubuntu, mc 4.8.15, no PaX) everything works.

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@ipfire: /usr/bin # paxctl -v /usr/bin/mc PaX control v0.9 Copyright 2004,2005,2006,2007,2009,2010,2011,2012,2014 PaX Team pageexec@freemail.hu
- 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'... ;-)
