The default .cshrc (in 2.0R, I hope this has been fixed in more recent
releases!) sets the SHELL environment variable to csh. In the absence
of a .tcshrc file, tcsh reads .cshrc, sets this environment variable,
and all subsequent shells end up being csh.
Remove that line from the default .cshrc file, (it's redundant anyway)
and your problem will be solved.
