Well, that's sort of why I asked the question.  What you described seems
to be the *intended* behavior, but I couldn't get it to happen -- tm's
Write method seems to be broken, and just writes out csh -c -f instead
of what it is supposed to write out.  The only way I could find of
reproducing the tm bug was to put together a data stream by hand. 
Granted that this is still a horrible bug that has to be taken care of
immediately, I was intensely curious as to how you discovered it.  Still
am, for that matter, since I haven't found any way to make the bug
happen without putting together the data stream by hand.

If you're going to give a detailed answer, however, it is probably best
not to post it to the net.... -- Nathaniel
