As requested, I specified the package in the bug report -- csh.

I noted that /bin/ls -F * will cause the segmentation fault, and that
/bin/ls * (without the -F flag) will not.  Upon further testing, it
appears that it is not just the -F flag. ANY parameter passed to /bin/ls
will cause the segmentation fault.  E.g., while using /bin/csh any of
these commands will trigger the bug:

/bin/ls -a /usr/bin/*
/bin/ls -r /usr/bin/*
/bin/ls -l /usr/bin/*

And as I noted, it's not limited to /bin/ls.  "foreach" will cause
/bin/csh to crash.  In fact, any of the following commands, and no doubt
many others, will trigger a segmentation fault if run from /bin/csh:

foreach i (/usr/bin/*)
echo /usr/bin/*
file /usr/bin/*

Thanks
