System name:		omaha.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.4.40 (with mkserv)
Display type:		Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		fvwm2.4

What were you trying to do?
	Use the /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc

What's wrong:
	Some versions of Gnome Terminal start the new shell in the directory that the
	last terminal was running from.  This confuses the section that sets $home
	which then decides that the current directory is the user's homedir

What should have happened:
	It should have noticed home was already set and not messed with it	

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I've changed line 96 to:
if ("$home" == "" && "$x" != "") then
	from
if ("$x" != "") then
