Re: Subprocess strangeness

[Alan Corey via mc]

OK, I guess it's just that machine, I don't know why.  I tried it on
my other Pi with Raspbian Buster and that doesn't do it.  Nor a couple
of Debian machines running Buster and Spike.  I should have tried that
before posting.  I hadn't really kept track of where it was happening.
That's my summer Pi so I've been spending a lot of time on it lately
and imagined the problem was everywhere.

No, I won't  call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX

only an idea for workaround: use "nohup" so your rxvt should be really

Right, sounds like the launcher scripts and/or rxvt code has changed in 
this regard, we never did anything to child processes on the mc side - so 
what Alan describes is actually the normal vanilla behavior.

I tested mc-4.8.25 with following terminal emulators:
mate-terminal-1.12.1
xterm-320
urxvt-9.20

All of them works as described above: child window is alive after parent
one closed.
