System name:		cogsworth
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.1.7 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	I did a rlogin cogsworth -l root -x and got the standard
tcsh root shell:
cogsworth# pwd
/
cogsworth# which kill
kill: shell built-in command.
cogsworth# kill -l
HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT EMT FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM USR1 USR2 
CHLD LOST WINCH URG IO STOP TSTP CONT TTIN TTOU VTALRM PROF XCPU XFSZ WAITING 
Segmentation fault
No tickets to destroy.
Connection closed.

This doesn't happen everytime I try it, but happens fairly frequently.
This also happenned on way-mo-money, a more up to date sun.

What's wrong:
	tcsh shouldn't have coredumped

What should have happened:
	I should get:
cogsworth# kill -l
HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT EMT FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM USR1 USR2 
CHLD LOST WINCH URG IO STOP TSTP CONT TTIN TTOU VTALRM PROF XCPU XFSZ WAITING
