Here is a wierd one.  In csh, move to some directory which doesn't have
a "path" subdirectory.  Then type either "cd path" or "chdir path".

The expected response would be "path: No such file or directory."  Instead,
no message is issued, and either you stay where you were or you move to
$path[1].  This behavior is independant of the definition of "cdpath" (or
lack of definition).

I've seen this on both SCO XENIX and SysV on an Edge.  Now I'm trying to
figure out whether it is refreshing or frustrating that XENIX is close
enough to SysV to replicate it bug for bug.
