It is a behavior that is peculiar to bash. I agree that bash is the most Stallmann-compliant, as it was Bourne Again to replace sh. Nobody said anything about csh. (Well, I didn't, and I'm a nobody.) On os x csh IS tcsh. It leads to behavior on OS X that you don't see in normal X-windows-based unix distributions, i.e, due to a peculiarity of OS X that is not Stallmanesque, bash behaves in a different manner. That which is different is the lack of a root x-window. If everyone would just use zsh, war starvation and disease would be peculiarities of ancient history.
