I've gotten one "me too", which indicated that SIGHUP to the shell
will also make it go away, but does not solve the problem.

I've got another FreeBSD machine available that was running tcsh
6.14.00, and it does _NOT_ display the problem.  When I build
6.15.00 on that same box (/usr/src is more up to date than the
install right now), that does fail.

Thus I'm pretty comfortable saying that it's a tcsh bug of some
sort, and probably a regression.  Hopefully this can be fixed
(PR being filed now) before 6.4 releases...
