Default Patch 110943-02 breaks /bin/tcsh ?

Hello -

November 18 I applied 110943-02 from Sun (part, I believe, of
8_Recommended).

Since then /bin/tcsh has been observed acting ..oddly.

For example:

% pushd /bin
0c0c
% popd
0c

Another oddity is using CTRL-D to get a partial list of files while on
the command line. All I see is a row of "0c" outputs.

% ls /usr/sadm/<CTRL-D>
0c 0c 0c 0c 0c 0c 0c 0c

Everything else patched in 8_Recommended seems sane.

Suggestions?

Regards,

Mark

Run an older version of tcsh; the problem is caused by SCCS which
expanded some %S%c in format strings to "0c" and testing which was
apparently done on a binary from checked out sources.
