Presumably there's something broken in a .cshrc or .tcshrc file in YOUR
directory or in /etc/csh.cshrc (or in some other file that they invoke.

The man page says: 

       Non-login shells read only /etc/csh.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc or
       ~/.cshrc on startup.

Try "tcsh -VX" and it should reveal the offending line(s) in one of those
files.  You can do "-V" and "-X" separately if that's less confusing.
