Except it isn't tcsh specific really.
Our config.h in /usr/src/bin/csh defines SYSMALLOC. The port does not.
The port works, the system version doesn't. If you comment out SYSMALLOC
in /usr/src/bin/csh/config.h and recompile then the TCSH bug goes away.
Now you could argue that perhaps the definition of SYSMALLOC just exposes
a bug in tcsh? OTOH, since the system version in -STABLE also defines
SYSMALLOC and still manages to work... you could also argue that this points
to some other bug in -CURRENT... lastly it could be argued that I'm barking
up completely the wrong tree. *shrug*
