Oh boy. Did you see the following two lines in /etc/csh.cshrc:
# If we find $HOME/.{t}cshrc we skip our settings used for interactive sessions.
if (-r "$HOME/.cshrc" || -r "$HOME/.tcshrc") goto end
Probably not. Btw., *my* ~/.cshrc file contains a line
uncomplete *
which has the surprisingly effect that I don't have to change the
files from the distro...
