Crash with autoexpand and no histchars

[Martin Stjernholm]

Binary package hint: tcsh

Start tcsh using "tcsh -f" then issue these commands:

set autoexpand
set histchars = ""

After this tcsh crashes whenever I hit TAB at an empty prompt. If these settings occur in .cshrc or similar then I have to type one command before TAB starts to misbehave.

This combination of settings is meaningless of course, but the first occur in /etc/csh.cshrc and the second in my ~/.cshrc. My workaround is to add "unset autoexpand" to ~/.cshrc.

The tcsh package is version 6.14.00-7.
