Package: tcsh
Version: 6.14.00-7
Severity: normal
echo: No match.

This happens for any program -- the error message is printed such that
it looks like the subprogram bailed, not that the shell can't find a
match, and bailed without even starting up the subprogram.

The error message _should_ look something like this perhaps:
tcsh: echo: No match.


For us "only use tcsh under protest" types, such an uninformative
error message is worse than useless - leading us down very dark alleys
while trying to debug small problems.
