The 6.17.00.1-1 version in the distro has been built from a more recent
upstream CVS.  The reason was that I added the missing wide char
capability for systems with sizeof(wchar_t) == 2 (aka Windows/Cygwin) to
tcsh, and I wanted the Cygwin users to get this new capability asap.

Unfortunately the bug you're reporting was also part of the CVS version
I used to build the Cygwin release version.  It has been fixed upstream
in the meantime.  At least I can't reproduce it with upstream CVS.

Apparently tcsh 6.18.00 is due soon, so I just wait until it has been
officially released to release a new Cygwin tcsh version as well.
