Package: tcsh
Version: 6.14.00-7
Severity: normal

Hi, i just wanted to say that i have the same issue here, for about 1-2 months 
now.

When i remove .history tcsh works, when i restore it, it segfaults.

It have something to do with the number of entries there,
if I remove any two, suddenly it works (tcsh starts correctly).

bary...@sredniczarny:~$ wc -l ./.history
9996 ./.history
bary...@sredniczarny:~$ wc -l ./.history_kopia 
10000 ./.history_backup

10000 rows is 5000 history entries.

If tcsh allows setting storing any number of history entries,
it should not do any assumptions on limit of number of entries
in history files. Just scan it, and allocate correct number of data,
or don't even allocate it (it will just waste precious memory), 
but know how many is there.
