It's possible there is something in your user account's .cshrc or
equivalent file when it should probably be in your .login or equivalent.
That is, some command is getting executed when the remote shell is
starting up when it should only be executed when you actually log in to
the server.

No idea, but I suspect you can fix the stdin: is not a tty message and
then it won't be a problem. :-)
