I finally sat down and found out why tcsh does not work on the cube.
It turnes out that the global variable envrion did not have an 'extern'
in front of it, consequently is was being set up as a local variable, and
thus when dereferenced, being that is was never initialized to anything
a bus error resulted.
To fix this on line 908 of sh.func.c change the line
char **environ
to
extern char **environ
Unless some one can give me a good reason (like copyright laws and thus)
I will try to put the binary at one (or several) of the popular archive
sites.

You named the good reason yourself: tcsh is based on csh which, last I checked, has not been cleared as free from AT&T code. Look among the released 4.3-tahoe files at uunet, if you don't find csh there, you shouldn't release a tcsh binary globally. Jacob -- Jacob Gore Jacob@Gore.Com boulder!gore!jacob
