With /bin/csh in tsch mode (lineedit set) screws up on aborting
multi-line commands. As far as I can tell, any command line ending
with \^J (backslash enter) will be executed unless the shell is
killed remotely before a non-escaped-out enter is typed. None of the
command abortion or text deletion commands will work once a line has
been passed. [If the line overflows, there is no problem. It's only
when a backslash-enter sequence is typed.]
I only tried this on 6.3 machines, but I think it's always been this
way.
