What were you trying to do?
set home=`pwd`
What's wrong:
This worked in 7.1H; it fails now:

What should have happened:
the set should have worked. In particular, the paranoia should
evaluate the `pwd` first.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
csh(1)
The patch from changes.72#155 has been backed out...
Breaking functionality is not acceptable.
Fixed with 7.2E.
