Hi.  I have a version of tcsh created by applying the recently-posted
4.3 conversion kit to the 4.2 modifications, and then applying them to the 4.3
source to csh.  I couldn't use the 4.2 kit directly because 1) I have 4.3
vaxen, and 2) the only 4.2 machine that I have source to is a IBM PC/RT, which
has the annoying feature that IBM hacked at the sources a bit.  Anyway,
I can run tcsh just fine on the RT - the 4.3 source+mods compiles
effortlessly for the most part.  I can also run it just fine on the uVaxen.
However, have been unable to get it to run on the SUN, running 3.4 UNIX.
The problem is that when I type control-C to the tcsh prompt, it dies.
This means that if I type control-C one too many times when killing a program,
then tcsh can sometimes get the extra kill signal, and die right there.

Does anybody else out there experience this?  And if so, have you a fix?


Thanks in advance,
