For some funny reason the following csh script works on BSD but fails on uPort
and 386/ix.  Am I trying something that shouldn't work, or is it a bug ?

#!/bin/csh
set x1=something
echo $x1
echo ${x1}

Yes, I am aware SysV will ignore the first comment line.  However, it will
work just fine with it.  So, should it be possible to use numbers as last
characters on csh variable names or not ?  uPort fails at the "set" command,
386/ix at the latter "echo".
