mc crashed on attempt to transfer single file to host via SFTP

[Andriy Tymchenko]

I have opened SFTP connection to another host in local network and got traversed down to home directory where wanted to copy single ZIP file. Once I pushed on F5 to copy local file to remote location, it crashed with message

(mc:19924): GLib-ERROR **: /build/glib2.0-1CRe1z/glib2.0-2.50.2/./glib/gmem.c:100: failed to allocate 94466869447131bytes

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I got collected coredump with apport (should be attached) and got punched this short note.

Local file has normal access rights (it is ZIP downloaded myself in Firefox earlier), so no access rights on this side should be problem.

I have executed without problem command

scp local-archive-name.zip username@hostname:

and it had transferred it just fine.

Fixed upstream in mc-4.8.19.

Version 4.8.19 is in Ubuntu 18.04 so marking as fixed.
