I have inherited the maintenance of a version of csh of unknown origin (maybe from version 7). I have encountered a bug that causes the following to not work: tar cf - . | ( cd newdir ; tar xf - ) & It gives the message "write error". In fact, cat /etc/passed | (cat) & also fails. If the & is omitted, the commands work properly. Has anyone fixed this one? I believe that the first instance of the program (on the left of the |) is getting a broken pipe error. Keith Crews
