This is known issue - I'm aware of it an plan to debug it in the
weekend.
MC doesn't actually start a new shell on exit, but starts the subshell
on startup and for some reason it fails to control it properly, so the
subshell never dies.
To fix you problem temorarily start mc like that:
mc -u
>From mc --help output:
-u, --nosubshell Disables subshell support
This way MC won't leave any subshells around.
