Public bug reported: the following line in Ubuntu 17.10 (but most likely before as well as the package hasn't been updated since 2011):
eval set val = '$'hello gives the following results: * /bin/tcsh: hello: Undefined variable. * /bin/bsd-csh: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Given that bsd-csh is determined as system default if both bsd-csh and tcsh are present on the system, it would be helpful if this worked. Otherwise, using tcsh easily fixes this (but makes bsd-csh even more obsolete). ** Affects: csh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1739505 Title: segfault on simple script that involves eval To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/csh/+bug/1739505/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
