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).
