Subject: [Rd] can't start csh (scripts) (PR#8220)
Message-ID: <20051019115802.22FAC15B21@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

Dear R developers,

after upgrading from R 2.1.1 to 2.2.0 I can't start csh (scripts) anymore.

While the following commands work fine

  > system("tcsh -c pwd")
  /hom1/users/gloeckler
  > system("bash -c pwd")
  /hom1/users/gloeckler
  > system("ksh -c pwd")
  /hom1/users/gloeckler

csh (in contrast to the shells used above) doesn't give any result:

  > system("csh -c pwd")
  > 

Outside of R csh and csh scripts do not cause any problems.

I tracked down a problem with starting an HTML browser down to this
problem with the invocation of any csh process.

The csh used is the normal C-Shell shipped with Solaris 9.

Thanks in advance,
Jens Gloeckler
