I found an old link to similar symptoms, where a guy couldn't reproduce the 
problem because he was running tmux. 

https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3344

So I tried it with st -e tmux and the problem no longer occurs, and the disk 
drive no longer fills up with logs.

Thanks

  Does anyone else use st as a terminal? I have used it from urxvt, mrxvt, 
lxterminal, ROXTerm, and others with only minor problems, but am having lots of 
basic problems with MC under st as follows:

1. Clicking mouse on menu or options, column headings, or Function key buttons 
doesn't work.
2. Function keys, like F9 for pulldown, doesn't work till I tap it three times
3. Once the top menu is up, arrow keys only work sporadically, and after a long 
delay, if they work. No way found to pulldown the second level menu
4. If I can get a dialog box up, keying in the fields and getting it to run 
doesn't work.

All of this works fine under ROXTerm on the same machine (Dell XPS I7 running 
antiX19.2 with IceWM). I'm just wondering if I need any special configuration 
for st to make this work. I haven't made mods to st other than font selection 
and screen size. MC is listed under "stuff that rocks" on the suckless site, 
BTW, so I would think that it's frequently being used by people running 
suckless tools.

MC is my most commonly used (and Favorite) terminal based program, so it is 
painful for it not to work right.

Thanks for any ideas, links or clues...
