[comp.sys.next] First NeXT screwup...

Well, I just found the first "feature" in the standard 0.8 distribution
that annoys me enough to mention it today:

Script started on Wed Dec 21 02:20:56 1988
% grep path /MyDisk/Homes/root/.cshrc
set path=(. /etc /usr/etc /usr/ucb /bin /usr/bin ~/Apps /bootdisk/Apps /bootdisk/NeXT/Apps /usr/local/bin /usr/hosts)
% exit

Yes, friends, '.' is at the beginning of the path for root.  No, it's
not staying there.  *Bad* idea.
