This command

	% echo ... | time <command>

ignores "time".  It acts the same as

	% echo ... | <command>

"cat | time command" fails in the same way.  


If $time is 0, then time does print something:

	% set time = 0
	% echo 1 | sleep 1
	0.010u 0.040s 0:01.02 4.9% 64+19k 0+0io 0pf+0w
	% echo 1 | time sleep 1
	0.010u 0.020s 0:01.02 2.9% 1+22k 0+0io 0pf+0w
	0.030u 0.020s 0:01.02 4.9% 128+51k 0+0io 0pf+0w


SIPB tcsh has the same bug.
