mc 4.8.27 and shell problems

4.8.27 kind of "fixed" 4.8.26 for those of us running zshell by removing the wait for commands to time out.

Occasionally I would not be able to execute a command: "Error: The shell is already running a command." And exiting mc in this state also throws: "Warning. The shell is still active. Quit anyway?"

Now, this problem happens frequently. I know I'm in trouble because when starting mc because the prompt line (second from the bottom, above the Function keys) shows a "^[" at its start.

The only way I've found to restore command functionality is to quit iterm2 itself (not just a given tab), but then the problem soon recurs.

Help!?
