tcsh 6.04 introduced a bug which manifested itself as a jump in the
wrong direction inside a sourced script inside another sourced script
(specifically, the "add" script being sourced from inside my
.environment file). I never pinpointed the bug, but it's made me wary
of upgrading tcsh. Unfortunately, CVS makes it somewhat difficult to
back out from an import, so we'd want to test the new version before
checking it in, which is a little more effort.
