Hi,

        I've been experimenting with this a bit, and it crashes TCSH
with an abort signal and dumps core on version 6.09.03 under OpenBSD 2.9:

setenv HOME `perl -e 'print "/" x 10000'`
cd ~

        Is anyone else able to reproduce this?  I know the problem itself
has little impact or significance, if any.  But, I'm merely curious, so
please humor me. :-)

Slackware 7.1, TCSH version 6.09 (from /var/log/packages/tcsh)

root@nyx:~# gdb /bin/tcsh

# setenv HOME `perl -e 'print "/" x 10000'`

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
