I've occasionally seen various commands return immediately and do
nothing, as if never run.  Every time I see this, a second run (even
by arrowing up to retrieve the line from the tcsh buffer) works
normally.  I can't remember when this started happening.  It's not
frequent and, sadly, not predictable.  If I think about it next time
it happens, I'll do an `ls -ul' on the command to see if it even got
accessed.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this.  I know this is vague
(which is why I didn't report it sooner); my apologies for this.
