tcsh changes with spaces in path


The latest tcsh change...

I've updated the version of tcsh to 6.12.00-4.
- /etc/csh.login now preserves spaces in pathnames when evaluating $path.

breaks my .cshrc. Several paths in my win2000 system path (from the
environment variables section) are of the form "c:\program files\...". That
space now breaks  my cshrc lines like...

setenv PATH $PATH":/d/jdk1.3.1/bin"

The space seemingly adds a third argument - which is illegal.

Wasn't the space "\" prefixed before? Can we go back in functionality on
this? What advantage do we get with the raw space? Any recommendations for
getting around this problem?

thanks...
