• Milestone 4.8 deleted
• Resolution set to invalid
• Status changed from new to closed

1. You use the old version of mc. Please try recent version as you've been asked.
2. ctrl-x c is shortcut for Chmod command. Probably, you mean ctrl-x t.
3. I cannot reproduce this crash in recent master snapshot.

I close this thicket as invalid because of 1) and 3).
