I've found a little more information -- this problem goes away
if I change my default shell to dash.  Seems tcsh is involved somehow.
It comes back when I change my default shell back to tcsh.
Going back to tcsh 6.18.00-2 does not help.

Given the deathly silence to my request below, I must be the only
one experiencing this, but it happens on both of my machines.
