"csh" messes up on nested "if" statements (at least in 4.1). It's
really that simple. "if ... fi" is a bourne shell construction, and,
while aesthetically more satisfying, meaningless to the poor C-shell.
Furthermore, "csh" does its own expression testing; the program
"test is not being called...not even through its "[" alias.
I'm afraid you'll have to find a different way to do the test (or
fix "csh").
