No, not at all. I can reproduce that behaviour which didn't occur
in 1.3.3. Strange enough that only tcsh has it. Starting e.g. vim
from the tcsh prompt and then resizing inside of vim is ok and tcsh
will not exit. That's probably a signal related problem since
resizing a window results in sending a SIGWINCH to the process group
of the sshd child process, tcsh in this case.

Ah, yes, we already had a similar problem. Somehow tcsh is very touchy.
I will look into this.
