Yet another gotcha...

The patch tape overwrites the 3.1C /bin/csh with a different csh that doesn't
contain the command completion (like tenex-csh) stuff.  Assuming you started
with 3.1C this leaves you with no command-completion shell and your users
will likely come visit.

So, before installing the patch tape, you might want to copy /bin/csh over
to /usr/new/csh and improve whatever "tcsh" or other links you had in for
compatibility to point there.

I don't know if the "new" shell is the standard csh with the all the bugs
fixed or what.  The 3.1C csh had some minor bugs where sourcing a file
(including .login/.cshrc) that had errors would cause it to eat as much
virtual memory as it could get.  This caused near-system hangs while the
shell was gorging, but once the offending stuff was fixed wasn't a problem.
