Hi Marco.

Using Windows Explorer I deleted the .cache, .config, and .local
directories (only mc had anything stored there) and started mc.  Upon
start with no configuration changes the command bar is visible but the
bash subshell prompt is not displayed.

I've even replaced my slightly modified ~.bashrc with the copy from
/etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc and started mc again with no change from
the default configuration.  The Bash prompt is still not visible in mc
and still has the same freeze where killing the bash.exe process
restores basic mc functionality.

I just tried it and mc calls the shell and then the mintty window
freezes before the subshell is run.  Windows Task Manager shows
Bash.exe using 99% of CPU and killing that process gives a bash prompt
and a mintty error box.  Evidently mc has been killed as it is no longer
shown by the 'ps' command.  To this point I have not set any
configuration options in mc.

Does that help?
