That is caused by sigaction (sig, NULL, old). It has been fixed in
libc 4.2. However, since it uses gcc 2.3.2 and libg++ 2.3, both of which
are still in alpha, I cannot release them to public. You have a few choices

1. Join GCC channel and use alpha versions. They usually fixed old bugs but
   may have new ones. So far I haven't heard any.

2. Here is the new sigaction (), compile it yourself and make your own
   shared image.

3. Don't use tcsh.
