Subject:	Problems using tcsh as default shell

Hello

I have a problem with tcsh when using it as the default shell for cygwin. I have replaced the bash command line in cygwin.bat with tcsh -l and now my cygwin.bat have the following content:

 @echo off
 C:
 cd \cygwin\bin
 tcsh -l 

tcsh does not seem to have any problem reading my startup scripts (like .tcshrc asf) but it always complains with the following message:

 /cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/sed: No children.

Sometimes "j2sdk1.4.0/bin" is replaced by some other path name. I guess there is some kind of problem with my path variable when tcsh is trying to parse it (using sed??). Does anyone have a solution on how to avoid this error?

This problem does not arise when invoking tcsh from bash (and using bash as default shell).

cygwin is installed on a WIN2K machine.

Best regards

Martin Nilsson
