Package: tcsh
Version: 6.18.01-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The filetest built-in command does not recognize
filenames containing a '{' (left curly brace),
whether the filename (or just that character) is
single-quoted, double-quoted, or
backslash-escaped. Neither the ls-F built-in, nor
filename handling with regular (non built-in)
commands such as ls, appear to be affected by this
problem. I haven't checked all other shell
filename processing. See the transcript
below. (The rc[0-9] is part of the prompt and
displays the return code of the prior command.)
Note that the cases where a left curly brace is
present without a matching right curly brace
(history numbers 510-512) seem to be treated
differently from those where the braces are
present in a matched pair (history numbers
517-519), but in both cases, the behavior of
filetest appears to be incorrect.
