oooops. I knew that command and forgot it... :)

well, it seems like in Linux it's actually safer to use tcsh then!

Linux (RedHat):

[ira@izzy ~]$ ldd /bin/bash
  libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
  libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
[ira@izzy ~]$ ldd /bin/tcsh
  libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12

(Slackware actually links tcsh to libtermcap too!)

a Sun Machine:

 52 /a/ira> ldd /sbin/sh
        /sbin/sh: statically linked
 53 /a/ira> ldd /usr/bin/csh
        -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.9
        -ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0

should I want to recompile my bash?
