Custom kernel config - can provide if deemed relevent.
tcsh-6.09.00 - from 3.4 packages
/dev/fd0 is a 3.5" floppy drive
>Description:
In an xterm running tcsh, I mounted a DOS floppy using:
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /a
The floppy mounted. I was able to ls the root directory. No
problems so far.
Then in my shell I started typing a command to copy a file off
the floppy:
cp -p /a/
At this point I hit Ctrl^D to get a directory listing of the
available matching files (bound to the tcsh
delete-char-or-list-or-eof function in tcsh, as is standard; type
"bindkeys" to check).
The machine completely froze. The X mouse cursor was dead.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace would not quit X. Ctrl-Alt-Del would not
reboot the machine. Attempts to switch VTYs were ignored.
No response for anything I tried.
I hard-booted and (after much fsck'ing) checked the 3.4 errata.html
file on freebsd.org, and then sent this PR.
>How-To-Repeat:
Perform the above action and see if it happens for you.
I'm hesitant to try tcsh matching files list on a floppy again
right now (I need to get a full backup made).

Unknown.
