I think the binary is now out of date. I ported tcsh to 386BSD long ago. When I updated to FreeBSD, I compiled the same modified source that I used for 386BSD and had the identical symptoms. It seems that support for the now obsolete raw line discipline has been removed. When tcsh tries to set it and the tty driver says no, tcsh thinks it can't have job control. I conditioned out the offending ioctl, the other things it did were sufficient. -- Dean M. Phillips Microsoft free and proud of it! dean@deanstoy.wa.com
