DU4.0 Csh "source" problem.

Is this a known problem under DU4.0?

If an attempt to source a non existent file from a .cshrc the csh
just exits which in the case of a login shell means the account is
inaccessible.
Csh in DU3.? doesn't seem to have this problem.
eg
        ~/.cshrc line with "source /x" in it.
        
        /x: No such file or directory
        % csh:ioctl error:: Bad file number
        csh:ioctl error:: Bad file number
        csh:ioctl error:: Bad file number
        csh:ioctl error:: Bad file number
        csh:ioctl error:: Bad file number
        csh:ioctl error:: Bad file number

Using trace (no license for truss :-( ) it looks like it might be
some of NLS routines causing the problem - not finding the message
catalogs for csh and libc. At one point it was trying to open
"libc.ca" in /usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US.ISO8859-1 ??

Easy solution is to use the DU3.x version of csh but...
