Here's what happens on any else's box:

% sh -c 'echo $1' foo bar baz
bar
% csh -c 'echo $1' foo bar baz
foo

Here's what happens on FreeBSD-2.1.0-950928-SNAP:


% sh -c 'echo $1' foo bar baz
foo
% csh -c 'echo $1' foo bar baz
foo

POSIX.2 Section 4.56.3 says everyone else is right, and FreeBSD is ...
not right.

Perhaps this ought to be fixed before 2.1.0 goes golden???

There are existing scripts that this will cause to break.
