Fixed in cauldron. Should we do an update for mga6? This looks like a minor problem since all important information for users is in the man page (which works fine).

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2017-10-15 12:53:36 CEST 
Meh,

just commit the fix to mga6 svn and it will go out _if_ there is some important fix/security issue later
Comment 4 Christiaan Welvaart 2017-10-15 16:21:53 CEST 
Fix committed in svn. Closing this bug as WONTFIX since the problem won't be solved unless tcsh is updated for some other reason.

Whiteboard: MGA6TOO => (none)
Version: Cauldron => 6
Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

WONTFIX looks wrong to me. FIXED seems more appropriate.

I would agree. If change is committed in svn it is fixed. Actual delivery to end users is a different matter.
Comment 7 David Walser 2017-10-15 17:01:12 CEST 
Well, it's FIXED for Cauldron and (probably) WONTFIX for 6, but usually in these cases we go with the former for bug status.

Resolution: WONTFIX => FIXED
Version: 6 => Cauldron
