Bug#220170: csh: strange behavior with quotes and special character "*"

[Philippe BEUDAERT]

Hi,
I've found a strange behavior with csh like the one describes in this 
bug report.

The version of csh I used is: csh_20020413-1 (the problem is still the 
same with csh_20050313-1)

The output of an "echo" command is strange when quotes (single or 
double) are used with the "*" special character:

* without quoting, output is OK:
        $ echo hello .cshrc
        hello .cshrc
        $ echo hello .cshrc*
        hello .cshrc .cshrc_save
* with quotes, output is wrong if a "*" is used:
         $ echo 'hello' .cshrc
        hello .cshrc
        $ echo  'hello'  .cshrc*
        \h\e\l\l\o  .cshrc  .cshrc_save
NB: I've tested that command under other OS:
        * solaris 8
                $ echo 'hello' .cshrc*
                hello .cshrc .cshrc_save
        * RHEL AS 3 (csh comes from tcsh-6.12-4)
                $ echo 'hello' .cshrc*
                hello .cshrc .cshrc_sav
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Philippe.
