I was about to email bugs/lists back today to basically say I've found a
reasonable workaround.. I'll respond to your message though in case you see
something that needs attention ...

Yeah I've come to realize this .. the 'mysql' client binary started
complaining about not finding strend :-)

I'm writing an NSS library, so when csh does ~username expansion, calling
getpwnam, the system automatically loads my library in order to find the
user in MySQL. csh itself has nothing to do with loading the library.

I don't know, actually. I haven't been able to find it since everything's
stripped and whatnot. I may just not be using the right tools to find it.
I tried running nm/ldd to find it to no avail.

The error happens inside the MySQL client library (since the library starts
using the wrong 'strend'), filtering back down to 'csh' which then dumps.
tcsh, bash, etc work fine.. it's only csh.
I've managed to get around the problem by linking my library with '-B group'
in order to keep the symbols from leaking around where they shouldn't be. I
found that there were other symbols being stomped on, too .. so it wasn't
just 'strend' anymore .. so my workaround seems the best choice.. and I
guess we can consider the matter resolved...
Thanks!
