csh bug

[Admin]

I have inherited the maintenance of a version of csh of unknown origin
(maybe from version 7).  I have encountered a bug that causes
the following to not work:

	tar cf - . | ( cd newdir ; tar xf - ) &

It gives the message "write error".  In fact,

	cat /etc/passed | (cat) &

also fails.  If the & is omitted, the commands work properly.  Has anyone
fixed this one?  I believe that the first instance of the program (on the
left of the |) is getting a broken pipe error.
