No PR from me, and not a chance of a fix to 8.1 at this point, unless it really 
does cause breakage (not just a message, but actually stops things); the tag 
has been laid down and would need to be slid forward.

It's likely to be either of two things... a bug in sh, that using tcsh 
highlights because of differing signal setup; or a bug in tcsh that a bug fix 
in sh highlights. It's a bug that comes and goes in the history of FreeBSD, at 
least since early 2006 (based on 10 seconds with Google -
