I've seen this bug countless times for 3 years on RedHat (3 years ago) and Debian (these days). I tried the 4.6.1 version (that is, the non-debianized, non-redhatized), and it was still there. I admit I didn't try the CVS. My patch consists in resolving symlinks before doing a strcmp, so there may be a real problem, or I am missing some key factor that would be trigger the bug. Maybe the terminal (aterm), the shell (zsh), the environment, or the locale intervene... I guess I'll have to patch my own mc and live with it...
