FreeBSD matrix 2.2.6-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE #0: Thu Apr  2 02:59:18 CEST 1998     root@matrix:/usr/src/sys/compile/MATRIX  i386

Tcsh as installed from /usr/ports:

matrix:~>tcsh -c 'echo $version'
tcsh 6.07.02 (Astron) 1996-10-27 (i386-intel-FreeBSD) options 8b,nls,dl,al,rh

matrix:~>pkg_info -aI|grep tcsh
tcsh-6.07.02        An extended C-shell with many useful features.

	

>Description:

tcsh produces obscure error-message when sourcing an shell-script which
contains an 'setenv LC_CTYPE'.

The problem does not exist in interactive mode.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

	
# start fresh tcsh without sourcing any startup-scripts.
matrix:~>tcsh -f

# This is our test-script. Problem does also appear with system-wide
# /etc/csh.login file
> cat /tmp/test
setenv LC_CTYPE foo

# We source it, it emits an error-message.
> source /tmp/test
^E¢@^Ò@x@^Z^ALoad: Command not found.
^A^FÌALAÊ@^Â^HERROR:: Too many arguments.

# This is repeatable.
> source /tmp/test
^E¢@^Ò@x@^Z^ALoad: Command not found.
^A^FÌALAÊ@^Â^HERROR:: Too many arguments.

# In interactive mode, this doesn't happen.
> setenv LC_CTYPE foo

# After interactive test, sourcing doesn't emit an error message any more.
> source /tmp/test

# That's it.
> exit

>Fix:

none known.
