I made this _evil_ binary and placed it on the archives to save others
the trouble.  As noted in the README with that binary, the source for
tcsh is available at tesla.ee.cornell.edu. tcsh doesnt seem to have that
behavior on my NeXT, but by all means - get the tcsh source, make with different
options, or make changes to the source or report the bug to the person that
maintains tcsh (RTFM to get his name).

Please try not to supress your emotions, its not good for your health.
