Allo,

What issue of mc are you running ? Are you sure to use the right issue
engine with the right issue tools stack,.... ?
As a long time user of mc (sine the 2.2/macOS8 to the
2.4.3/macOSX/Win32/Linux), i never had this problem before.
Check your installation and be sure that you will find what got wrong
and why mc was not in fault ;-)
