Hello Dai,

Your subject line wasn't very explicit in what you were talking about, so I 
guess most people on the list will have skipped your message entirely. It
just showed up in my scanning my mailbox for "bash"..

Anyway, you don't give us any information about your Cygwin installation:
the version of tcsh you're using, the version of Cygwin you're using, etc.
Please take a look at http://cygwin.com/problems.html to find out how we
like our bug reports :)

As you're not using Bash (or PCRE, or splint, or Aspell-en) I'll leave it to
the wisdom of the tcsh maintainer to help you out :)

Good luck :)
