Can you create an account for me? I don't think I have one, and the
registration page links to a non-existent "captcha.png" image which
I'm assuming is mandatory. Trying to load it shows a web page saying
"No handler matched request to /captcha.png".
If you're interested, it seems that it might be possible to subscribe to
Debian bug reports via the package tracker:
https://tracker.debian.org/accounts/login/?next=/pkg/mc
(I've never done it, and its documentation link is currently broken, so
I can't tell for sure. I don't see any way to subscribe to a package
via the bug tracker, which would be more convenient.)

I haven't thought about this in a long time, and don't think I've ever
looked into the integrated test suite. Maybe one day it'll happen,
though probably not soon.
I remember feeling, like ossi, that there was some sort of larger design
flaw here. I don't recall whether I considered either of my proposed
changes a proper fix, or understood the code well enough to determine
that.
I did say that my test might not be reliable; so, we may want to figure
out something better for that. If mc could be made to log certain
diagnostics, for example, that might help (or it might change the timing
so much as to defeat the purpose).
