Sorry, folks, but the REAL answer to this is the cdpath variable.  If it can't
chdir somewhere, csh will go down $cdpath, and the error message you end up
getting is that of the LAST component in cdpath:

	% mkdir rc
	% chmod 0 rc
	% set cdpath = (. /etc)
	% cd rc
	rc: Not a directory
	% set cdpath = (/etc .)
	% cd rc
	rc: Permission denied

If cdpath is unset, you will always get the "right" error message.
