Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.5 - TECHNICAL NOTES Manual page 275

on a wildcard entry in the automount map file caused the service to attempt to mount those directories
and fail, thereby increasing network traffic and system load. This update provides a fix to tcsh glob-
handling so that using globbing characters as in the above example no longer triggers automount, thus
resolving the issue. (BZ#526459
All users of tcsh are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
1.205.2. RHBA-2010:0027: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2010:0027
An updated tcsh package that fixes a bug is now available.
Tcsh is an enhanced and compatible version of the C shell (csh). Tcsh is a command language
interpreter, which can be used as an interactive login shell, as well as a shell script command
processor.
This updated tcsh package fixes the following bug:
* when using the tcsh shell, running a command with glob characters which also took as an argument
any single- or double-quoted string resulted in a backslash character being inserted before every
character in the quoted string arguments. This update provides a fix to tcsh glob-handling so that
characters in single- or double-quoted string arguments are handled correctly and as expected.

1.205.3. RHBA-2010:0190: bug fix update
An updated tcsh package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Tcsh is an enhanced and compatible version of the C shell (csh). Tcsh is a command language
interpreter, which can be used as an interactive login shell, as well as a shell script command
processor.
This update package addresses the following bugs:
* The local variable for "%j" within the prompt was incorrect, mistakenly referencing an unrelated
global variable. This caused the entire prompt to be set to 0. Correcting the local variable ensures that
when the "%j" character is included in a prompt it produces a 0 within the prompt, instead of setting
the entire prompt to 0.
* A previous patch for tcsh changed designed behavior in what was thought to be a bug fix. It was
previously thought that the circumstance of a range being empty because the second argument was
omitted or was in range, was an error. The behavior that was said to be a bug has since been found
