I hate to sound like an obnoxious UNIX geek, but it seems that tcsh users
are poseurs:  no one has noticed or fixed (to my limited knowledge) a really  
obnoxious bug.  When using tcsh command-line editting with lines greater than
the screen width, the cursor gets "lost" and edits are placed in strange places  
on the line.  This gives me vertigo.  I am using the binary compiled on a NeXT.
All our servers have succumbed to this brain-teasing binary too.  It is the  
foul 6.02 binary that is lurking on the archives.

Does anyone have any info regarding the maker of this evil binary?  Can I  
submit bug reports?  Or am I just experiencing localized reality failure?
Should I just sit quietly and expect to be ignored?
