The RS/6000 /bin/athena/tcsh has a bug: if I press ^C while entering the
body of a foreach loop, future commands are not recorded in history.  Here
is an example.  My primary prompt is "%d > " and my secondary prompt is
"feed me :".

	~ > exec /bin/athena/tcsh 
	~ > history
	     1  12:23   history
	~ > foreach f(*)
	feed me : 			# type ^C here 
	~ > history
	     1  12:23   history
	     2  12:23   foreach f ( * )
	~ > some_command
	some_command: Command not found.
	~ > history
	     1  12:23   history
	     2  12:23   foreach f ( * )
	~ > 


echo $version says:
	tcsh 6.00.03 (Cornell) 10/20/91 options 8b,nls,dl,dir

The tcsh in the SIPB AFS cell does not have this bug.
