Yup, most of the vfs shell scripts sux
i.e.: many contain things like '> $3' unquoted.
the mc.sh example script is a perfect example of how
a script should not be written ($RANDOM is not at all a safe
way to generate temporary file names)
i tried to patch whatever i found,
all my patches to mc, if anyone cares, can be found at
