You are welcome!
This will be the official patch, and yes I have another 9 bug fixes since
6.15.00. In general, I don't make 6.15.XX generally available, but the
severity of some of those problems fixed is high enough to possibly justify
a 6.16.00 sooner than later. Here's the list of fixes:

10. kill `foo` got stuck because sigchld was disabled too soon (Mark Peek)
9. Avoid null pointer dereference in proc cwd (Kurt Miller)
8. eval "foreach a b c" exits (Anthony Menasse)
7. Quoting was broken in substitutions (Joe Wells)
6. QNX patches via pkgsrc
5. cd - twice from a directory that contained a glob pattern,
expands the glob twice (Mark Santcroos)
4. MidnightBsd support (Lucas Holt)
3. Fix history substitution core-dump with no history entries
2. Merge two character tables that are the same (Martin Kraemer)
1. On ancient 7 bit locales, punctuation characters are used to
denote special characters such as umlaut, adiaresis, etc.
These characters return true for isalpha/isalnum. Ignore them
because they break parsing (Martin Kraemer)

Hi Christos,

Can we persuade you to include the following local patch I keep for
autologout detection with /dev/pts/XXX ptys in FreeBSD?

%%%
Fix pty detection logic of tcsh autologout initialization.
