Bug Description

Binary package hint: tcsh

If one types in the command "setenv A B | printenv" the environment is printed out, A is not set to B as expected, but one gets "NULL:~> NULL:~> " as the line following the printed out environment. NULL in this case is the hostname.
Admittedly one is unlikely to wish to give such a command, but csh itself does not have this problem and only prints a single prompt '%'.
