Yes, this has been fixed for 6.02. Thanks for reporting it.
[My fix is sligthly different, but that one also does the trick]

About the ioctl problem: This has been the most common question lately,
so it finally made it in tcsh's FAQ. 

It is not a bug with tcsh, but a bug with the gcc installation. In particular
<sys/ioctl.h> is not ansi compliant in some operating systems. There are
three choices:

1. run fixincludes and complete the gcc installation.
2. compile with gcc -traditional
3. compile with cc.

Tcsh-6.02 will come out *really soon* now. We are frantically testing it. :-)
