Package: tcsh
Version: 6.17.02-3
Severity: normal
Hello,
When the environment variable NLSPATH has a legitimate value, tcsh
segfaults during a startup. The following script is an example:
#!/bin/csh -f
echo -n 'test ...'
setenv NLSPATH
"/1/1/1/123456789/locale/%l_%t/%N:/1/123/123456789/locale/%l_%t/%N:/1/12345/123456789/locale/%l_%t/%N"
/usr/bin/tcsh -f -c 'echo " passed."'
# end of script
Sorry that the value of NLSPATH is somewhat funny. This is just because
we have simplified the testcase.
This seems to be a bug of tcsh 6.17.02. I confirmed that upstream's
6.17.00 has no trouble with the above script.
This problem has a simple workaround. It is suffice to slightly change
NLSPATH, e.g.,
#!/bin/csh -f
echo -n 'test ...'
setenv NLSPATH
"/1/1/1/123456789/locale/%l_%t/%N:/1/123/123456789/locale/%l_%t/%N:/1/12345/123456789/locale/%l_%t/%N"
# a workaround
setenv NLSPATH "${NLSPATH}:${NLSPATH}"
# 'setenv NLSPATH "${NLSPATH}:bar"' will also work...
/usr/bin/tcsh -f -c 'echo " passed."'
# end of script
Sincerely yours,
Atushi TANAKA
