Right; if anything in your local RC or profile scripts is calling some
kind of...wildcard matching and evaluation, at startup, it may be
reading a exotic file that its not escaping the name of, properly, and
bombing out.

$ mkdir fckin_csh_users
$ cd !$
$ echo deathToSun > \\?
$ echo deathToSun > \\?\ \??
$ ls
\?  \? ??

Now compare:

$ for a in *; do stat "$a"; done
$ for a in *; do stat $a; done
