My csh does short int arith (the default on 11's) instead of long int.
Has anyone ever fixed sh.exp.c to have longs in place of ints in the 
appropriate places?

When I do

@ a={`true`}
@ b={`false`}

both come back with 0 as the variables value.
This is despite the fact that the variable $status is set correctly.
Has this been fixed already?
