something strange with rsh/ssh + bash/tcsh is happening. Please advise



Dear DDs,

Please advise since I am not sure against which package to file a bug.
First I mentioned weird behavior with hostname and filed a bug against
it (look below in the quotes). Apparently it might be not a bug of
hostname at all...  There is something else weird is happening

*> rsh node19 '/bin/echo 1111; /bin/echo 123'
1111
123
> rsh node19 /bin/sh -c '/bin/echo 1111; /bin/echo 123'

123
*> rsh node19 /bin/tcsh -c '/bin/echo 1111; /bin/echo 123'

123
*> ssh node19 /bin/tcsh -c '/bin/echo 1111; /bin/echo 123'

123

So it eats 1 output line in those cases for some reason...  no matter if
it is ssh vs rsh, or tcsh vs bash

and in the case with hostname it seems that command line parameter is
not provided. Am I doing something wrong? Where to look for help/bug
fix?

Thank you in advance
