there is/was a bug in 3.2 where users with nfs mounted home directories
would lsoe things. the problem occured if there was anything in .login
or .cshrc that began with capital L set in a setenv statement, ie
if this line were in .cshrc " setenv LINES 40". this is one possibility 
that i know of. hope it helps.
