 Has this been fixed or just quietly closed?
 
 I ask because all but one of the issues discovered when using the 44bsd
 shell back in 8.0 continue to exist in 8.2-RELEASE, making file-name
 completion unusable and certainly incompatible with behavior that
 existed in the original csh, all the way back to the early 1980s.
 
 I have received no query or feedback on this bug report since
 it was filed, and have checked each new release since the original
 report, hoping someone would put everything back as it was.
 There was a slight improvement in 8.2 so someone may have accidentally
 worked on this, but the bulk of the functionality remains broken.
 
 In my opinion, the bug is due to changes introduced to the
 tty driver ioctls in 8.0, because the 44bsd shell code hadn't
 really changed in the previous ten years.    These changes
 broke/altered the behavior of how the shell can shove characters
 back into the stdin queue and so broke ESC and CTRL-D functionality
 and altered when/if ESC and CTRL-D are treated as a wake-up character.
 
 I know a lot of people have given up and switched to tcsh on FreeBSD
 because this has been broken for so long, but the two shells behave
 differently in this specific area, and I prefer the original since the
 behavior is (well, was) identical to the BSD shell found today out
 of the box on Solaris platforms and so I don't have to train people to
 watch out for two different behaviors on the systems they manage.
 
 Thanks for an update on this.
