 Done. See [https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3658#comment:5 mc
 ticket 3658: Subshell not working with Bourne shell /bin/sh (not bash),
 comment 5] and first reaction in [https://www.midnight-
 commander.org/ticket/3658#comment:6 comment 6].

 > Alternatively I could try adapt the patch for MacPorts and attach it to
 this ticket so that you can test it locally on your system.

 OK. Yes, please.

 >Once your Sierra gets an update

 Apple has released 10.12.1 update yesterday, I've installed it:


 {{{
 $ sw_vers
 ProductName:    Mac OS X
 ProductVersion: 10.12.1
 BuildVersion:   16B2555
 }}}


 >you can check again with the unpatched version of mc in order to verify
 what I am seeing here on my Beta.

 OK… Result:


 {{{
 $ sudo mc
 common.c: unimplemented subshell type 1
 read (subshell_pty...): No such file or directory (2)
 }}}

 Same error as before. I have no clue, why your 10.12.1 beta seems to work
 at that point, but not the stable 10.12.1 release on my installation. And
 no clue, why I've had no problem at the very same point with 10.11.x and
 lower but since 10.12.x. What has changed in 10.12.x concerning
 shell/subshell that effects this?
