For some odd reason, Solaris (at least) defines the "which" command to
display the path to the proper binary according to a csh session which
has read the user's .cshrc file.
The Athena default dotfiles do not contain any references to the
tcsh-specific OSTYPE variable, but perhaps your .cshrc.mine does? If
so, that's the problem. I could not reproduce the problem using a test
account.
I believe the canonical equivalent to "which" under bash is "type".
"where" also works, without having the csh-specific baggage associated
with "which".
