Subject: tcsh bug with backticks and vfork
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.64.0810051358450.23851@zeno.ucsd.edu>

Hi,

Please see FreeBSD bug 125185 at 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/125185 .  Summary: running 
something like

"`perl -e "print 'A' x1024"` * 0"

crashes tcsh 6.15.00 on FreeBSD.  The reason is related to tcsh's cleanup 
stack being shared between parent and child when vfork() is used.

Hi,

although probably a problem with openSUSE 11.0,
you may want to have a look at

Hello,


TCSHLANG doesn't function because it is wrong in the usage of _dupenv_s.

_dupenv_s, _wdupenv_s (CRT):

Subject: Can cygwin tcsh return "/home/user" from pwd?
Message-ID: <79D001DEDB0DEC47A247B110F3E8668201289652@ALTPHYEMBEVSP30.RES.AD.JPL>

Hi,

  I am using tcsh under cygwin and when I type "pwd", it returns:

[phan at phan-xp ~]$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/phan

If I run bash shell instead, bash shell would return:
$ pwd
/home/phan

Can I make tcsh return /home/phan as well instead of the "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/phan"?

Thank you,

Linh
