I have a question for those of you who are experts on BSD UNIX and the
csh.  The following command causes severe problems:

	echo `(cd)`

I get the following results on these computers and operating systems:

Sun 4/280, SunOS 4.0:
   Abort ( core dumped )

Encore Multimax 320, UMAX 4.2:
   IOT trap ( core dumped )
   assertion botched: !pargv

VAX 11/750, BSD 4.3:
   Illegal instruction ( core dumped )

Anyone with source access want to look at this?
