Sum -r on my csh binary gives:

I'm afraid I don't know much about what patches were or were not applied
or supplied.  Our diskettes (and uname) are labelled 2.2.1; I do not believe
there were any explicit patch disks.

It's obvious that at least with CSH, probably others, there is some divergence
here.  With any luck, it should explain the problem.
