This is a well known misfeature of csh.  The offical fix is to fix
your .cshrc, as follows:
	if ($?prompt) then
		set prompt='My Prompt '
		set mail=/usr/spool/mail/me
	endif
that is, only set prompt and mail if you already have a prompt set.
Otherwise shell escapes cause all sorts of interesting things to happen.
