There is no /usr/src/share/nls/, though.  Continued below...

I found it in there, but there is no makefile in src/lib/libc/nls/.
So, it isn't as simple as going into src/lib/libc/nls/ and doing a
clean make.  But, I did several "make worlds", including all the
libraries.  I don't, and didn't, have NONLS set.

As it turns out, the make worlds were probably doing the right thing.

Bernd's suggestion that my tcsh was simply out of date was correct.
Of course, being a shell, I have it statically linked, so it was still
using old internal copies of catopen, et al.  Building a brand new
copy makes it behave.
