I think the problem can still be fixed. Simply put in /bin/tcsh and let /bin/csh be what it actually is, which is to say /bin/csh. I realize that will add all of 300kB to the system. Oh and there would also have to be an entry for tcsh in /etc/shells. Should I send a patch?

How many programs does this incompatability actually break? Realistically? If it hasn't been a problem in the last 4 years it makes me wonder if anyone is actually writing or using shell scripts written for this.

I'm not opposed to adding a real csh to /bin, but if we're only adding it to work around a minor incompatability that few if any programs rely on I don't see it as being a necessity.
