>Description:
/usr/ports/misc/mc Midnight Commander port behaves strangely: No pseudographic frames are around panels. After some period, panels became skewed and a black box appears on right side. It's the same in console and under Eterm.

Problem is believed to be somewhere in libraries since mc port has not changed from 7.0-release.

The second problem - Russian letters are displayed as white dots on black in console only - may be related or not.

/usr/ports/misc/mc-light works ok.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the fresh 7.1-RELEASE, Russian language. Install ports. Make and install cvsup. Cvsup the ports. Make and install mc. Select 8-bit input and KOI-8. Observe the problem. Clean, cvsup the ports and copy them to the work HDD. Install the fresh 7.1-RELEASE, Russian language. Get cvsuped ports from work HDD. Make and install mc. Select 8-bit input and KOI-8. Observe the problem again.
>Fix:
Use /usr/ports/misc/mc-light.
