>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-19980725-SNAP i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD adhara.dbai.tuwien.ac.at 3.0-19980725-SNAP
	FreeBSD 3.0-19980725-SNAP #0: Sat Jul 25 10:27:08 GMT 1998
	root@make.ican.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

	/usr/local/bin/tcsh
	version tcsh 6.07.02 (Astron) 1996-10-27 (i386-intel-FreeBSD)
	options 8b,nls,dl,al,rh

	The same problem also exists in 2.2.6 and 3.0-980621-SNAP.

>Description:

	If either one of `setenv LANG C` or `setenv LC_CTYPE` occurs in
	.cshrc, very strange error message are printed during login and
	processing of .cshrc breaks at arbitrary points of .cshrc.

	Similarily, using either of these commands in any script invoked
	as `tcsh script` will produce the same result.

>How-To-Repeat:

	~% cat in1
	setenv LC_CTYPE C

	~% tcsh in1
	^A^F\314ALA\312@\202^HERROR:: Too many arguments.

	~% cat in2
	setenv LANG C

	~% tcsh in2
	^A^F\314ALA\312@\202^HERROR:: Too many arguments.

>Fix:

	None known.
