tcsh: causes applications to linger on amd64



Package: tcsh
Version: 6.14.00-1
Severity: normal

If I run 'xterm -e tcsh', execute nvi, pine, or R within the new xterm,
and then hit the window manager's close button, the xterm will not
close.

If I run 'xterm -e csh', execute nvi, pine, or R within the new xterm,
and then hit the window manager's close button, the xterm closes.

If I run 'xterm -e nvi', (or pine, or R) and then hit the window
manager's close button, the xterm closes.

---

If I run 'rxvt -e tcsh', execute nvi or pine within the new rxvt, and
then hit the window manager's close button, the rxvt closes.

If I run 'rxvt -e tcsh', execute R within the new rxvt, and then hit the
window manager's close button, the rxvt closes, but R begins to consume
100% CPU and strace shows that it is continually writing:

  write(1, "Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: ", 31) = -1 EIO (Input/output
  error)

If I run 'rxvt -e csh', execute R within the new rxvt, and then hit the
window manager's close button, the rxvt closes, and R terminates
correctly.

So, not knowing whats going on, I'm filing the bug with tcsh because the
bad behavior only happens when tcsh is involved.
