But that's not the only problem running mc AFAICS.  I'm seeing an
error message in the background:

Cannot open named pipe /tmp/mc-corinna/mc.pipe.384
  /cygdrive/d/cyg_pub/devel/mc/mc-4.8.23-1.x86_64/src/mc-4.8.23/src/subshell/common.c: open: Permission denied

It looks like there's another problem, this time with the new FIFO
code.

Ken, care to take a look?


Thanks,
Corinna
