Of course csh should not crash like this. I think this was caused by the sound system (pulseaudio) in combination with csh. I was doing a "mythtv-setup" from a tty2 session (executed from a csh as user root) with (I used export DISPLAY=:0 and xhost + to let mythtv-setup be able to use the X screen). The following occured in /var/log/syslog

The Ubuntu version you used is EOL on the Desktop. Can you reproduce this error with a supported Ubuntu version?
