Nope. What paul is saying is the following:

% tcsh
% set autologout = (15 1)
... now wait for a minute until the shell asks you for your password:
Password:

... now try to type your password and press enter.. tcsh will seg-fault.

tcsh 6.14.00 (Astron) 2005-03-25 on Linux doesn't suffer from this
problem, though...
