Just a few more details: we're running AIX 2.2.1, and the problem can
be better described as C-shell scripts invoked by their absolute
pathname work fine, but single component names fail silently.
I.e., if the file /tmp/foo contains
#!/bin/csh
echo foo
and is mode 755, owner root, the following all fail:
cd /tmp
foo
./foo
csh foo
but either of these succeed:
/tmp/foo
csh /tmp/foo
