The following reply was made to PR ports/3492; it has been noted by GNATS. From: pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: ports/3492 reborn: `setenv LANG C` makes tcsh behave weird Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 12:20:31 -0700 (PDT) >Submitter-Id: net >Originator: Gerald Pfeifer >Organization: >Confidential: no >Synopsis: ports/3492 reborn: `setenv LANG C` makes tcsh behave weird >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Category: ports >Class: sw-bug >Release: 2.2.6 and 3.0-980621-SNAP >Environment: >Description: Esentially this is the same as Problem Report ports/3492, which has been closed. When the statement `setenv LANG C` appears in .cshrc, some users who have /usr/bin/tcsh/ as their login shell will get strange messages about errors in .cshrc. These messages are absolutely nonsense, e.g., once you uncomment a problematic line, there will be a completely different error in the next line. In some cases, processing of .cshrc is aborted without any notice. >How-To-Repeat: unsetenv * ; tcsh echo 'setenv LANG C' > f source f ^E\242@\222@x@^Z^ALoad: Command not found. ^A^F\314ALA\312@\202^HERROR:: Too many arguments. >Fix: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
