Again, just a guess, but one of (the many) reasons not to use tcsh is
that it has some very strange (to me, anyway) rules about which startup
files (e.g., .login) to run when.  Perhaps one of your such files is
being executed in one case and not the other, and is doing something
relevant to an environment variable or umask.
