Comment(by drkirkby):
I've not got chance to look at this now, but here are a few comments.
The csh is considered to be a pretty poor shell - see for example this
article about it.
http://www.ooblick.com/text/CshProgrammingConsideredHarmful.html
tcsh is based on csh.
The first 150 or so lines of that article covers the issues of output
redirection, which is the issue here.
The newsgroup {{{comp.unix.shell}} or the ''autoconf'' mailing list are
good sources of information.
Also
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Limitations-of-
Builtins.html
is worth a look.
Although this particular test may be re-written without any redirections,
the probability of something similar breaking elsewhere mush be high.
I guess we should create an account using /bin/tcsh as the shell and test
the whole of Sage.
