Bambero, I'm an 'mc' fanatic running it under 4.2. There is no problem
for me.

My "wild analytical guess" about your problem is this:

One of the two panes of the mc display is logged into some remote
device or file system -- nfs, ftp, unmounted disk, etc. Something.
And that file system is not active so mc tries after each command
until it times out.

Was that a good guess?
