I'm not a committer to the FreeBSD repository.  I either 
submit patches to fix problems or code for missing library
routines.  In this particular case, reverting the tcsh
import is the correct fix (IMHO).

I also didn't threaten anyone or anything.  I simply wanted 
to know what the procedure is for getting code reverted.
