Well, AT&T didn't supply "csh" with S3, nor with any S5 release prior to S5R4, so "system 5 and system 3" really means "somebody's S3-based and S5-based releases, with a 'csh' from somewhere". In at least some cases, the "somewhere" is a source of a rather old version of "csh" with plenty of other problems. The SunOS 4.0.3 version (derived from the 4.3BSD version, so I suspect any 4.3BSD-derived version and maybe any 4.xBSD-derived version acts the same) did: auspex% echo foo\ bar foo bar auspex% echo 'foo\ bar' foo bar auspex% so I suspect the only "real" S5 "csh", namely the one coming in S5R4 which will be derived from, I suspect, the SunOS 4.1 one (since that one should, last I heard, not use the 8th bit of characters for quoting), may do the same thing.

If they put it in for Xenix compatibility, perhaps it's the same one that's in Xenix; is that one of the really horrible old creaky ones that hasn't been properly stamped out? (At least it'll probably be stamped out in S5R4, and replaced with a proper 4.3BSD-or-later vintage one.)
