Re: TCSH problems?

      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. :-)


Yep happens on my RH 6.2 system.

[chuckw@home chuckw]$ rpm -q --file /bin/tcsh
tcsh-6.10-0.6.x
