Midnight Commander - Where is the subshell?

[herbert langhans]

Hi Daemons,
I have just installed the brandnew mc 4.7 - now there is still an old little annoyance:

Being root I can switch away the mc-commander and use the shell, CTRL+o does the trick.

But as a normal user CTRL+o blanks the screen, no shell prompt appears and hitting a key just shows mc again.

The subshell support must be working, all is fine if I am root. 
What is wrong there, anyone knows the trick using the subshell as a normal user??

Thanks!
