RHBA-2010:0027 - tcsh bug fix update
Synopsis
tcsh bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated tcsh package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Tcsh is an enhanced and compatible version of the C shell (csh). Tcsh is a command language interpreter, which can be used as an interactive login shell, as well as a shell script command processor.
This updated tcsh package fixes the following bug:
- when using the tcsh shell, running a command with glob characters which also took as an argument any single- or double-quoted string resulted in a backslash character being inserted before every character in the quoted string arguments. This update provides a fix to tcsh glob-handling so that characters in single- or double-quoted string arguments are handled correctly and as expected. (BZ#547529)
All users of tcsh are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
