> Synopsis: tcsh fails to handle large arguements > > State-Changed-From-To: open->closed > State-Changed-By: nork > State-Changed-When: Tue May 27 23:25:28 PDT 2003 > State-Changed-Why: > SEE ALSO glob(3), sysconf(3), /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h. > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=52746 The problem is that the tcsh does NOT recover. The shell just hangs. echo `perl ...` works as echo is built in. /bin/echo `perl ...` fails to return. e.g. drugs:marka 16:43 {107} % echo `perl -e 'print "A"x1000000'` Word too long. drugs:marka 16:43 {108} % /bin/echo `perl -e 'print "A"x1000000'` Word too long. There is NO prompt after the second command. There is a bug. -- Mark Andrews, Internet Software Consortium 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: Mark.Andrews@isc.org
