Indeed. It broke at some point after 4.8.11.

An easier way of reproducing: SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh /usr/bin/mc

It sleeps for 10 seconds, as per src/subshell.c feed_subshell()'s wtime.

Please see the attached fix.
I'm not sure the result is exactly what's intended, but it seems to work, and I took the idea from https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/tree/src/vte.sh?h=vte-0-36 .
