There is a bug in the Ultrix 3.0 csh which was not present in Ultrix 2.2.
I would guess that support for 8-bit characters is the reason for the change.
The script:
#!/bin/csh
echo "`date`"
causes character 0xFF to be output before each character of the date. The
same thing happens for other commands, and for:
% csh -c 'echo "`date`"'
but not for:
% echo "`date`"
