[Tcsh] [UCE] tcsh-6.24.08 is now available

[Luke Mewburn]

Fair enough. Seems that I didn't test enough scenarios when
I committed 97efa0b on 2023-03-11 that partially reverted
commit e598809 of 2015-05-05.

I'll try and debug further why the original problem exists
that requires those two tests to be skipped.


Possibly related, but I've also noticed other weird edge cases about terminal
setup on startup that may or may not be related, that could be worth debugging.
E.g.;

	$ tcsh -f -c 'ls-F'
		outputs in 1 column
	$ tcsh -f -c 'telltc; ls-F'
		honors the terminal width

	$ tcsh -f -c 'setty'
		wraps output every word
	$ tcsh -f -c 'telltc; setty'
		honors the terminal width
