The fix is described (with a patch for '/etc/mc/mc.ext') here:
Debian Bug report logs - #179350 mc hangs viewing a .gz file http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=179350
I believe double hash used in the patch is non-portable.
yep. it's a bash-ism (or a ksh-ism, fwiw). other than that, i pretty much dislike this directory-based special-casing. i think my suggestion with "file -z" (or equivalent) is much cleaner.

btw, nroff "hangs" on binary files because it refuses to proceed further until somebody reads its stderr, which mc doesn't do during reading its stdout. i personally prefer to append "2> /dev/null" after actions containing nroff in my mc.ext, after which i see malformed file contents, but at least mc doesn't freeze.
