Well I think that this problem is not so much with tcsh as freebsd. If 
tcsh wants to pull this kind of crap, fine.

But I really think it is a mistake for freebsd to put a copy of tcsh in 
/bin and call it csh.  Folks and programs that rely on old csh get funny 
surprises when tcsh is called csh.  For what, so that there is no tcsh 
in /shells?

I am sure I do not have to elucidate on the problems this can cause.
