Csh bug? (Grows forever)

Here too, I think. We have 4.1bsd/vax11/780, and occasionally
csh says 'assertion botched <something or other>' and then nothing.
This comes from a memory allocation routine, I forgot the name, if
either the chain of blocks has corrupted or the the chain is empty.
I've concluded that it ain't corrupted.

Fixes anybody?
