I suspect it is the same problem. Unfortunately, the author of
tcsh does not have a publicly available source tree, so one cannot
determine if the problem is fixed. It looks like you've managed
to go beyond the limited debugging I did in bin/112408. Hopefully,
this gets addressed before 7.0 is released.

But you can consult the bug tracking system at http://bugs.gw.com/


ROTFL.

which is due to bin/112408.

Yes. I know.

I've repeatedly asked to have the import of tcsh 6.15.00 backed out to
the old 6.14.00 version. Having 7.0 released with a broken default
user shell seems to be a lack of QA. A more important question is
"can the broken signal handling in tcsh be exploited?"

IMHO, a fix would be much better than backing out 6.15.00.
