Hi,

There seems to be a problem with 1.3.88. In my cshrc.login script in /etc
I have the following line

setenv HOSTNAME "`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`"

When the above line is executed when a login occurs it causes the cshrc.login
to die and hence the login process is aborted and I get back a login prompt.

Doing a little bit more experimentation any line that does the back quote
execution causes the death of cshrc.login. Removing it makes everything run
normally.

After logining in back quotes work normally on the command line or in
scripts.

This problem did not exist in 1.3.84.

I am running a 386-dx40 with 8mb or ram. I have both IDE and SCSI (AHA1542CF)
and everything is compiled in; I am not using modules.

Thanks for any help
