With the latest version (4.6.0-2) you see '$' because the subshell is 
disabled by default, so no subshell prompt is read at all :) Use '-U' 
option to enable subshell and you should be able to see this behaviour.

See above :) Btw which is this previous version ? And is it running on 
Cygwin or other platform ? As you can see below I've verified that MC on 
Cygwin behaves exactly the same way as MC on Linux. What I think may be a bug 
(in MC) is that in console no prompt is shown at all when using zsh.
