New patch file patch-misc__ext.d__text.sh.in

Pressing F3 key on a man file (eg. /usr/share/man/man1/cp.1.gz), MC displays an error message.
The attached patch solves the problem for me:
- copy patch-misc__ext.d__text.sh.in in /usr/ports/misc/mc/files/
- rebuild MC

I tested mc and could not reproduce the problem.
Comment 2 214748mv 2015-01-14 22:34:55 UTC 
Just upgraded MC via pkg to mc-4.8.13_3 and the problem is still here, for me.
The MC error message is the same as with the command :
$ man -l
Illegal option -l
Usage:
 man [-adho] [-t | -w] [-M manpath] [-P pager] [-S mansect]
     [-m arch[:machine]] [-p [eprtv]] [mansect] page [...]
 man -f page [...] -- Emulates whatis(1)
 man -k page [...] -- Emulates apropos(1)

The patch only remove the option '-l'. The '-l' option is available in Linux not in FreeBSD.
I'm running:

There is a new version of mc and a PR for it:
