Situation
A system running tcsh version 6.18.01-8.6.1 on SLES 12 OR 6.20.00-4.9.1 on SLES 15 becomes slow and csh start consuming a lot of memory. In addition, the ~/.history file get corrupted. This behavior was been noticed on system running SAP Netweaver.
Resolution
The fix is now released with tcsh version 6.18.01-8.17.1 OR 6.20.00-4.15.1. To implement the fix, kindly:
- Stop all process running via csh. In other words; All processes running from <SID>adm
- Update tcsh by running:
- zypper install tcsh-6.18.01-8.17.1 on SLES 12
- zypper install tcsh-6.20.00-4.15.1 on SLES 15
- Remove the corrupted ~/.history file from <SID>adm home directory. Or any other users who have similar shell.
