Here is an interesting behaviour from csh:
time echo foo
uses the csh builtin 'time', but
time echo foo &
uses /bin/time. Any ideas as to why this happens? Is it
a bug or a feature?
This was tried on two 68k systems. I haven't had a chance at
a VAX yet.

I remember somebody from Callan reporting another "csh" bug that didn't appear
in our 4.2BSD "csh"; it seems there was an earlier version of the C shell
that had some problems that were fixed in the version that appeared in 4.1BSD.
(The other problem was that "&&" and "||", respectively, in the C shell
acted like "||" and "&&", respectively, in the Bourne shell.)
