mcedit stackdumps on C++ files with standard syntax highlighting, and also
on Apache access log (no highlighting).

The problem happens if I start mcedit from shell (mcedit somefile.cpp). I
don't remember seeing a stackdump if I called mcedit directly with
execl("/usr/bin/mc.exe", "/usr/bin/mcedit.exe", "somefile", NULL) and
usually I do it this way.
