Original question:
We seem to have a csh curiosity here. As documented in the
man pages for csh, if one has a shell script which contains
the << inline input redirection, a temporary file is created
in /tmp containing the inline data, but this file is not
removed when the script completes.

Responses:
Ranged from:

  Why on earth are you using csh?

to:

  Yes this is most likely a bug.

Thanks to all,

Terry.
