If you navigate in your shell to a directory containing symlinks and
then start mc, mc will show the canonical path instead. It would be nice
to make it show the directory with the symlinks.
Example: in your shell execute these:
user:~$ mkdir -p /tmp/a/b /tmp/x ; ln -s /tmp/a/b /tmp/x/y
user:~$ cd /tmp/x/y
user:/tmp/x/y$ mc
In mc you'll find yourself in /tmp/a/b, though it'd be nicer to see
/tmp/x/y at the top, and correspondingly navigating to the parent would
take you to /tmp/x.
If you start bash or zsh from /tmp/x/y, the new instance will start
displaying the working directory as such. They do this via the PWD env
variable. On one hand, they set and maintain PWD to point to the current
directory, using the path as specified by the user (possibly containing
symbolic links). On the other hand, they check its value at startup. If
$PWD points to the same physical directory as the actual working
directory then they use this value. If $PWD points somewhere else then
it's simply ignored (so it's a hint only as to which symlinks to use to
get to the working directory, but never alters the actual cwd).
Now mc also does the same at startup (with respect of "Cd follows
links" option). Relative directories specified in the command line are
applied after possibly replacing the canonical cwd with $PWD. This way
for example
user:/tmp/x/y$ mc . ..
opens two panels in /tmp/x/y and /tmp/x instead of /tmp/a/b and /tmp/a
(whereas /tmp/x is actually a different directory than /tmp/a).

If [Preallocate space] option is enabled, MC can't copy zero-length files:
"Cannot preallocate space for target file ... Invalid argument (22)"

When platform does not define HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE we get this error:
