	The problem is that the tcsh does NOT recover.  The shell just
	hangs.

	echo `perl ...` works as echo is built in.
	/bin/echo `perl ...` fails to return.

e.g.

drugs:marka 16:43 {107} % echo `perl -e 'print "A"x1000000'`
Word too long.
drugs:marka 16:43 {108} % /bin/echo `perl -e 'print "A"x1000000'`
Word too long.

	There is NO prompt after the second command.
	There is a bug.
