[request-sponsor] Re: Sponsor request for bug #4635088 + others (csh related)

Here are the csh bugs I see from
http://opensolaris.org/os/bug_reports/request_sponsor/

4635088  *csh* /usr/bin/csh dumps core with incomplete while or if expression
1139642  *csh* csh time does not display fractions of a second
4499198  *csh* csh accepts bad arguments
6346576  *csh* csh is unable to handle operands greater than 2G or 2147483647
1128254  *csh* csh uses gethostname with MAXHOSTNAME=64 instead of 256
1191119  *csh* : can't use the set command for variable larger than 21 character
s in csh
1219707  *csh* csh has a limitation on the size of a substitution string

Since 119119 has already been fixed, we can remove it from the list.

I don't see existing bugs for the two additional csh problems you mention.  
Could the
first one be related to this one, although you don't mention "stty -echoctl":

1231982 *csh*  'set filec' supersedes 'stty -echoctl' setting.

Hi,

I haven't received an email from you directly, so I don't know your email 
adress.

Just tell me when you're ready, I'll send you the patch files.

There's a lot of cruft in the (presumably original AT&T/SysV) source code that 
probably doesn't necessarily need to be in Solaris source.  I've found 
references to ATT 3B class systems (3B2, 3B15) which were discontinued around 
1984, quite a few years before SunOS 5 ever hit the streets.  There's one 
function in volcopy.c that sets a variable M3b2 if the machine is a 3b2, and 
then M3b2 never appears to be referenced every again...
