Hello, Pavel!
Could you please revievew this patch?
MC cannot use FiSH on a host running bash-2.04 over OpenSSH-2.5.2p2.
Apparently it's confused by the error message from running
start_fish_server.
fonzie$ ssh bean
bean$ start_fish_server
bash: start_fish_server: command not found
I understand that start_fish_server is a hook that makes it possible to
use a specially written server instead of a shell. How important is stderr
from that server? I'd like to redirect it to stdout (or even to
/dev/null), but if you need it I'll consider something else.
I understand that stdout and stderr are transferred separately. and the
error from start_fish_server is not guaranteed to arrive before '### 200'
That probably explains why FiSH _sometimes_ works.
