Hi Chris,
umm, I know, this is not what you want to hear.
The latest version has still an unresolved hanging problem.
I can reproduce the following behaviour:
Starting tcsh in TeraTerm telnet client window (via inetd as service ->
telnetd -> login) as login shell. Start a command: `ls -C' works.
Change window size, start `ls -C' again. Now the command is working
as before but it never returns to the prompt. `ps -ef' from another
shell displays:
...
system 1001 1 -1 11:34:15 /usr/local/sbin/inetd.exe
system 1134 1001 -1 11:52:08 /usr/local/libexec/in.telnetd
corinna 1135 1134 2 11:52:13 /usr/bin/tcsh.exe
corinna 1144 1135 2 11:52:19 <defunct>
...
As I mentioned, this is 100% reproducable. I tried to reproduce it
under strace control (startimg tcsh, some cmd, change win size,
start cmd via strace) but unfortunately strace hangs on starting
it already. The output file remains empty :-(
This doesn't happen with bash. Sometimes I get the feeling that
tcsh is somewhat hard to please...
