Description of problem:
I get a syntax error when trying to concatenate variable names in tcsh,
specifically when creating a new variable in a call to setenv.  The new variable
name is the value held in another defined variable appended with another string.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set var1=value1
2.setenv $var1'db' value2
3.env | grep $var1
	

Actual Results:  > set var1=value1
> setenv $var1'db' value2
setenv: Syntax Error
> env | grep $var1
<blank line>

Expected Results:  > set var1=value1
> setenv $var1'db' value2
> env | grep $var1
value1db=value2
