Word too long.

This must be a problem with your shell startup scripts. Some variable expansion on a tcsh command line must be longer than 4096 (?) characters. Check the following:


- "printenv" : Is there some enormous environment variable?

There is indeed: CLASSPATH. This would make sense, as I've just installed lots of the new fink java stuff. The init.csh script includes "/sw/share/java/classpath" and this seems to be the culprit:
% wc -c /sw/share/java/classpath
1719 /sw/share/java/classpath


- "ls -l /sw/etc/profile.d/" : Anything exotic there?

Well, I never looked there before so I can't tell exotic from normal. There are quite a few java related ones there, it seems. FWIW:
% ls -1 /sw/etc/profile.d/ | wc -l
55


- Do you have a nonstandard way of running the "source /sw/bin/init.csh" command?

Nope, "source /sw/bin/init.csh" is all there is to it.


- Do you have an alias or a binary in /sw/bin or /usr/local/bin that has the same name as a standard shell command like 'test' or 'setenv' or 'complete'?

As far as I am aware, no. I certainly haven't done anything manually. Those particular examples, test, setenv and complete are not present in either of those places.
