 the problem:

 type :e foo*
   and get the "too many filenames" error

we found this problem only when using csh, it seems that csh gives a prompt when
started even if not connected to a tty, so that vi thought it was given
2 filenames ( the prompt and the actual name )
we changed csh to check to see if stdin is a tty and give
a prompt only if it is.
