  The command "limit coredumpsize 0" in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc
appears *after* the evaluation of the commands in the users
~/.environment file.

  Environment limits are just that, limits on the environment, and
should therefore be controllable from the .environment file.
Environment limits are inherited by child processes, so it should not
be necessary to put them in .cshrc.mine and have them evaluated each
time a shell starts up.

  Moral of the story: put the limit command with the other commands
that are executed if ENV_SET is not set, not with the csh
initialization commands.
