Ah, but does HP-UX also support all the C Shell bugs, as well as the
C Shell itself?  From the collection of bugs I've fixed here at Waterloo:

   limit core 1.0e99                                     # core dumps
   set x1=23 ; echo ${x1}                                # variable syntax
   if ( { date >/dev/null } ) echo ha ha                 # redirection ignored
   eval "who|tr 'e' 'x'"                                 # pipe ignored
   date | if 1 echo hi ; jobs                            # spurious job id
   setenv USER 'xxx*yyy' ; /bin/csh                      # core dumps
   date ; exit ; date ; date ; date                      # four dates print
   setenv xxx "XXX" ; set yyy "YYY" ; echo $#xxx $#yyy   # XXX 1
   date | /bin/echo `cat` ; echo never see me            # hangs
