csh and tcsh also (unless this has been changed since last i checked)
will exit if they appear to be running setuid.  they don't seem to
give you a chance to do anything "wrong".

for what it's worth, "the proper quoting" will usually get you what
you want, but i've found some tasks easier with a csh script than a sh
script.
