Description

There was a regression in tcsh causing issue to customer and they request regression test to avoid such issue in the future. There are tests running during the build, however, they do not capture this particular problem as user needs to use the shell interactively. Possible issue can be reproduced as follows (from the package maintainer):

The regression can only be seen if tcsh is interactively used. That is simply login as a tcsh user, that has a /usr/bin/tcsh or /bin/tcsh as login shell. If the prompt becomes broken and does not work anymore you had caught this bug. That is things like

ls i-d /*

(should return the directory and file list below /) or

echo ~

(should return the current home directory) do not work anymore due a broken tcsh.

reported bug which can be used as source of info for the test:
