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...
