Some days ago i discovered something..If you export TERM with the name for example "buqtraq" and you will start Midnight Commander you will see something like this: localhost:~$ export TERM="bugtraq" localhost:~$ mc Unknown terminal: buqtraq Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. But if the name of the TERM will include over 227 characters you will see something different: localhost:~$ export TERM="bugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraq bugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraq bugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraq bugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraq bugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraqbugtraq " localhost:~$ mc Segmentation fault localhost:~$ I don`t know if it is interesting and i haven`t try do exploiting it but maybe someone.... I have tested it only on Slackware 3.5.
