Workaround until 16.10's tcsh is rebuilt with the sysmalloc fix: build your own fixed AMD64 .deb:
a) Pull the Fedora Rawhide src rpm from https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/src/t/tcsh-6.19.00-15.fc26.src.html wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/source/tree/Packages/t/tcsh-6.19.00-15.fc26.src.rpm b) extract the contents of the src rpm: rpm2cpio tcsh-6.19.00-15.fc26.src.rpm > a1.cpio mkdir t ; cd t cpio -dmiv < ../a1.cpio cd .. c) Pull the current Ubuntu yakkety 16.10 beta tcsh source from packages.ubuntu.com wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tcsh/tcsh_6.18.01-5.dsc http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tcsh/tcsh_6.18.01.orig.tar.gz http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tcsh/tcsh_6.18.01-5.diff.gz d) Rebuild tcsh with patches from Fedora mkdir t2 ; cd t2 dpkg-source -x ../tcsh_6.18.01-5.dsc cd tcsh-6.18.01/ patch -p1 < ../../t/tcsh-6.19.00-024-use-sysmalloc.patch patch -p1 < ../../t/tcsh-6.19.00-014-do-not-use-union-wait.patch dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b cd .. sudo dpkg -i tcsh_6.18.01-5_amd64.deb Works for me, no more tcsh crashes when pressing TAB. Note that I had to apply the do-not-use-union-wait patch as well. Without it, I can't get the current Ubuntu 16.10 tcsh source to build on 16.10 at all, which is odd. Is the AMD64 .deb on the ubuntu servers not built on 16.10, or is there some other explanation for why it doesn't experience the "sh.proc.c:155:16: error: storage size of ‘w’ isn’t known" that results without do-not-use-union-wait.patch?
