The stty command setting the erase character to ^H is in the global
cshrc, rather than Xsession or xsession. This is wrong for a couple
of reasons. This way it runs every time a new shell or shell script
is started, whether it is needed or not. This slows everything down.
It also means that to override it, I have to put a conditional (based
on machtype) in my .cshrc.mine which further slows down every shell.
It should be sufficient to put it in one place early in the login
session, and all other ttys will inherit the settings from there.
