This is a long-standing bug in resize, which uses the value of $SHELL
to determine if it should output in bourne shell or c shell syntax.
resize doesn't handle tcsh as a shell properly.  If you specify
"resize -c", then it will always use csh syntax.  Since the alias is
fundamentally csh-based (or else wouldn't be a csh alias :-), perhaps
the dotfiles should specify the -c flag.
