csh scripts should start with
#!/bin/csh -f
otherwise they may execute csh dotfiles that are not appropriate
for scripts -- one of the ones in your environment, perhaps .cshrc,
was referencing hosttype.
hosttype is set in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc for 8.2 platforms, but
this shouldn't matter...it's possible that there's something more complicated
going on here, but "csh -f" is the right thing for all csh scripts (which
are abominations regardless, but...), and will certainly fix it here.
