When csh can't access .

[Dale Worley]

It seems that when csh (under Ultrix 1.2, which is a BSD 4.2 variant)
starts up, if it cannot get any access to the current directory, it
exits silently.  This doesn't appear to be in the documentation, and
it certainly isn't useful.  At the very least, it should produce some
sort of error message.  At best, it should start up, since it isn't
really necessary that "." be readable in order to have the shell run.

Am I confused?
