This is an old problem of OSX's tcsh to commit suicide whenever a

However, it doesn't do the latter any more on Panther. It still does
it in xterms or rxvts, so it does have something to do with X11,
although I have no idea what.
Whatever's going on, I don't see this with bash in an xterm, or with
any shell in Terminal.app (both 10.2.8 and 10.3.2).
Try the following, even from bash:
1. Start a new tcsh
2. At the prompt, type asdfasdfasdf&
If you are in a Terminal.app window, it says (besides command not
found) something about Exit 1, but it stays in tcsh. If you are in
xterm, it exits tcsh.
Weird.
Amen.

Justin
