tcsh holds wrong history for nested loops.

[rew]

Binary package hint: tcsh

In the most recent 10.4 release, tcsh now remembers the lines entered inside loops: Good. :-)

foreach i (*)
   something complicated
end

you can recall the "something complicated" by using up-arrow.

However this goes wrong in nested loops:

foreach i (*)
   foreach j (1 2 3)
      something complicated
   end
end

will put the "something complicated" (and the following "end") into the history buffer many times.....
