This was reported upstream and Christos replied with a fix:
https://mailman.astron.com/pipermail/tcsh/2020-November/000092.html

However, with that patch the regression test suite now reports a
failure:
128: $x:q:h does not cause out of memory crash and yields nothing FAILED (lexical.at:690)

Since you're interested, can you pursue this with upstream?
