I believe that was fixed later by a patch.  Do you have tcsh dated 7/18/87
(echo $version).  If not you can get the latest via ftp from
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu in tcsh-beta.  If that is the version you have,
send me mail and I'll send you the patches that have been applied here.

It has other problems, however... (noting as serious, though).  I use it.

get 5.6 from somewhere at osu.  perhaps giza.cis.ohio-state.edu or perhaps
tut.  the version i have is beta and you lose the ``='' special character.

We ran into similar problems (and worse -- I can't get it compiled on 4.0)
but this problem is solved by setting your parity to none...

(or at least it seems to work for me).
