I think the issue here is not whether csh is right, but that setting a legitimate, documented option and taking it to its logical conclusion breaks world. I also seem to remember that when tcsh was MFC'd, someone checked out the tree for any leftover csh scripts and said it was clean. I'd say vfgrind ought to be rewritten in Bourne, just to keep everything consistant. (Of course, since the current trend is to rewrite all our scripts in C anyway, this may soon become moot. -- Ray Kohler FreeBSD -- The Power to Serve Computers will not be perfected until they can compute how much more than the estimate the job will cost.
