Hi

As of the latest version of Cygwin, there is a flaw in the tcsh startup
scripts in /etc and /etc/profile.d that causes tcsh to fail if $HOME
contains a space (eg "/home/John Smith")

Lines such as
	if ( -r $HOME/.cshrc ) ...
will cause errors unless changed to
	if ( -r "$HOME/.cshrc" ) ...

This appears to have been fixed for bash.

Cheers
Michael
