Just to avoid the spread of misinformation, tcsh also doesn't use case insensitive hashing. It used to convert the hash table to all lower case, see http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-announce/2005-06/msg00007.html This has been reverted in 6.14.00-4 so that the case is now taken as is again. See the discussion taking place in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-06/msg00559.html Cygwin tcsh does not share its hashing code with the Win32 version, it uses the same code as all other OSes are using. No other OS is using case insensitive hashing, so doesn't Cygwin tcsh.
