umask 077 is set in /usr/athena/lib/init/shell_init, which is
called by .cshrc. This is wrong; umask needs only to be set in
.login as it is inherited from one shell to the next. Users who
set their umasks in .login.mine will lose this way. In the mean
time, I suppose users should set umask in .cshrc.mine instead.
