Hi,
As I upgraded my current and 4-stable boxes to recent ones, I noticed
that eval `tset -s` no longer works on the stock tcsh.
It gives error message such as ``Missing ].''
I tried to figure out what is going wrong and here's my finding:
1. If an open brace is included in the string to be executed through
the command substitution mechanism (i.e. enclosed in ``'), any `{'
and `[' that appear after the first occurrence of `{' (including
this first one) is not escaped even when the shell variable noglob
is set. So, for example, the following doesn't work:
% eval `tset -s`
2. This doesn't happen if you give name of the file that contains the
same string to tcsh as the command-line argument. So, for example,
the following works:
% tset -s > tset.out
% tcsh tset.out
This is all I have been able to find out, and I don't have much clue
where to look into. Or, has there been any change to tcsh which
causes this problem?
Cheers,
Max
