>Description:
The recently added bash shell (version 3.2.17) prevents Midnight Commander
(available in misc/mc) from changing to directories with underscores.

>How-To-Repeat:
When in mc(1), try to cd to any directory containing an underscore.  A message like this will appear:
Warning: Cannot change to /home/ighighi/amsn_received.

Running "mc -u" (--nosubshell) or using a different shell like zsh or the older 3.1.17 is Ok.

>Fix:
This is an issue with other OS'es as well... See:
