Hello,

I also noticed that mcedit can't save files anymore when "Edit Save
Mode" is set to "Safe save".

strace shows that mc tries to create a temporary file with the initial /
missing from the filename. When trying to safe save /var/tmp/new-file:

...
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)
open("/var/tmp/new-file", O_RDONLY)     = 4
close(4)                                = 0
open("var/tmp/cooleditr4mLML", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_TRUNC, 0600) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
open("var/tmp/cooleditS5oLML", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_TRUNC, 0600) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
open("var/tmp/cooleditj7qLML", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_TRUNC, 0600) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
...

Regards,
