tcsh backquote expansion problem

[Jun-ya Kato]

Dear all,

I'm going to report tcsh backquote expansion problem.

I've installed cygwin-1.3.4-4 and tcsh-6.10.00-3 on Windows XP box.

  # .cshrc
  set myname=`hostname`
  set prompt="${myname}% "

I put these 2 lines on ~/.cshrc.  However, when tcsh starts up, myname
variable is always set null.  The output of hostname can't be expanded
at all.

Once tcsh starts up, I typed-in command line manually,

  % echo `hostname`

It can show my hostname correctly.

cygwin-1.3.2-1 doesn't cause this problem.  Also when I use bash and
$HOME/.profile,  They can work with both version of cygwin.dlls.
