On a recent fresh install of cygwin, I had problems with
getting the tcsh shell to work. "if: Expression Syntax".
I figured out to invoke it with -V to be verbose on the
system scripts and found a issue with
/etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh having problems with home
directory names that have spaces in them, and since windows
home directories reside in "Documents and Settings" this
should be a problem with *every* install.
A little googling on the problem found this:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00701.html
so the problem/fix was reported in April 2008.
Is this cygwin's way of saying "you should be using bash"?
