effective too with FreeBSD 4.2 ..

gimili~>setenv HOME `perl -e 'print "/" x 10000'`
Abort (core dumped)
gimili~>set | grep tcsh
tcsh    6.09.01
gimili~>uname -mrs
FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE i386

but FreeBSD 4.3 and tcsh-6.10.00 don't have this "problem"..

relais6~>setenv HOME `perl -e 'print "/" x 10000'`
relais6/tmp>uname -mrs
FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE i386
relais6/tmp>set | grep tcsh
tcsh    6.10.00
