tcsh 4k problem

Hi,

I just encountered a problem with tcsh scripts with a size >4k. Admittedly, I don't run the latest version of tcsh, but I've searched the archives and didn't see this problem being fixed. Sorry if I missed something ...

Cheers,
Kai

The following script does pretty much nothing except for printing the parameters given to it; it's meant to demonstrate the problem:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/tcsh -f

set f = ( )

while ( $# )
  set f = ( $f $1 )
  shift
end

foreach i ( $f )
set x = "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo $i
end
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This works. If you start duplicating the line "set x = ..." line, the script ceases to work as soon as the size exceeds (about) 4k (command shell output):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> ./x a b c
a
b
c
> ll x
-rwxrwxrwx 1 tom Kein 4097 May 19 10:32 x
> ./x a b c
a
b
c

...

> ./x a b c
a
Badly placed ()'s.
> ll x
-rwxrwxrwx    1 tom      Kein         4098 May 19 10:33 x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem disappears again if I add a sufficiently high number of empty lines in front of the foreach statement.

Here is what cygcheck -s says:
