I thought so, too. I have 4.6.1_6 on OS 7-STABLE with the annoying
"read (subshell_pty...): No such file or directory (2)" problem.

And the strange thing: I've seen a similar message with 4.7.0 on
OS 8.0-RC1! Maybe I can "generate" the error again. I seem to
remember that it was a bit different, but included the first
words...

At least, they fixed some annoying behaviour of the subshell,
e. g.	1. Select some files, either by + or INS.
	2. Enter a command, existing one or not, press Enter.
	3. Result: Your selection is gone, and the cursor
	   is at the first entry of the current directory.

This happened only for the first command you entered after
starting MC; all subsequent commands are processed as intended,
and as it worked in the older versions without problems.

The 4.7 version doesn't show this habit anymore, thankfully.
A good improvement, it was annoying.

Only thing I found: There are no "graphics" anymore; they
are present e. g. in sysinstall (borders), but not in MC.
