We had the same problem, and eventually figured out that it was
caused by the presence of an `stty' command in the .cshrc file on the
remote machine.  We just deleted it but if you can figure out whether
you are being invoked remotely, you could bypass it in this case but
let it execute when invoked normally. Can anyone suggest the best
method for doing this. I am sure I have seen it somewhere!
