Admittedly, I don't run the latest version of tcsh, but I've searched the archives and didn't see this problem being fixed. Sorry if I missed something ... Cheers, Kai The following script does pretty much nothing except for printing the parameters given to it; it's meant to demonstrate the problem: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/tcsh -f set f = ( ) while ( $# ) set f = ( $f $1 ) shift end foreach i ( $f ) set x = "-------------------------------------------------------------------" echo $i end --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This works. If you start duplicating the line "set x = ..." line, the script ceases to work as soon as the size exceeds (about) 4k (command shell output): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ./x a b c a b c > ll x -rwxrwxrwx 1 tom Kein 4097 May 19 10:32 x > ./x a b c a b c ... > ./x a b c a Badly placed ()'s. > ll x -rwxrwxrwx 1 tom Kein 4098 May 19 10:33 x --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem disappears again if I add a sufficiently high number of empty lines in front of the foreach statement. Here is what cygcheck -s says: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Wed May 19
