I can reproduce it 100% of the time on a variety of Linux x86 & x86_64 machines running Opensuse 11.4.

touch t t1 t1234

for shell == tcsh

tcsh tcsh --version tcsh 6.17.02 (Astron) 2010-05-12 (x86_64-suse-linux) options wide,nls,lf,dl,al,kan,sm,color,filec

ps -p $$ PID TTY TIME CMD 6287 pts/1 00:00:00 tcsh

ls t1234 t1 t t t1 t1234

ls t1234 t1 \ t t t1 t1234

ls t1234 t \ t1 CORRECT>tr (y|n|e|a)? <------------------ THIS IS THE PROBLEM

ls t1234 \ t t1 t t1 t1234

comparing with shell == bash

ps -p $$ PID TTY TIME CMD 9936 pts/1 00:00:00 bash

ls t1234 t1 t t t1 t1234

ls t1234 t1 \ t t t1 t1234

ls t1234 t \ t1 t t1 t1234

ls t1234 \ t t1 t t1 t1234

there's clearly no such problem. It doesn't seem to matter on which line the 2-character object appears. When/where it does, the continuation fails as reported.
