The solution to this is that which shouldn't be a script. It should
be a builtin, like in tcsh 6 (from cornell), so you get the real state
of the shell, not what some shell script thinks might be the state of
the shell.
You can try this shell out as /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/tcsh/tcsh on
athena (or anywhere else with afs).
