Probably bad commit is [ec80df1].

What is host you connect to? What are OS and shell there?

Do you have any scripts (especially ls) in /home/admin/.local/share/mc/fish/?

Both computers have Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon and same MC version 4.8.24 (now both back to 4.8.19)
I have no fish folder in my local. I do have some scripts in /usr/lib/mc/fish.
