Package: mc
Version: 4.8.18

1. Create a new system user ("gogs" in my case). Default shell in /etc/passwd: 
/bin/false, home directory: /opt/gogs.
2. sudo -u gogs bash
3. mc
4. Press Shift+F4 to create a new file with the editor
Mc quits with a Segmentation fault.

Haven't created a new user again, but when I've restarted mc and pressed 
Shift+F4 again, the segmentation fault was reproduceable.

If I use F4 first, then the usual prompt appears:
Select an editor.  To change later, run 'select-editor'.
  1. /bin/nano        <---- easiest
  2. /usr/bin/mcedit
  3. /usr/bin/vim.tiny

After selecting mcedit as an editor Shift+F4 works and can create a new file, 
there is no segfault.
So I suspect it was because I haven't selected an editor before pressing 
Shift+F4.
