 Do root's startup scripts run tabs or tset?
 
 Otherwise, it's either compile with `--enable-trace' or ktrace it:
 
 env SHELL=/usr/pkg/bin/tcsh ktrace -di xterm -g 80x25 -ls
 
 Email the ktrace.out file IFF the trace captures the tab issue.
 And make *sure* if you do run a su(1) while under ktrace, to set
 a bogus password beforehand, otherwise I *will* be able to see
 your real password.
