Package: tcsh Version: 6.17.02 Hello, this is my first real bug report ever. I'm sorry if I make a mess of it. I tried to use reportbug, but it crashed when I submitted my report.
The tcsh bug: If there are two files, such as "z" and "zz", in the current directory, then zz* expands to both files. This can cause unexpected data loss when for instance copying or moving files. It could also destabilise the system if the system ran tcsh scripts. Possibly there could be security vulnerabilities. The version I am using to produce the bug is 6.17.02 (from sid). I compiled version 6.17.00 of tcsh from source obtained through www.tcsh.org and the bug is not there manifest. (zz* expands to only zz.) I was expecting the tcsh.org version number to be higher? I suppose I didn't find the development repo, but the bug exists on the Debian 6.17.02 version in any case. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
