Seems a little extreme, you could check other users .cshrc .tcshrc flies and see if there is a builtin mech for (history -c) in a trap or otherwise that might explain it.

If root history is a concern, audit should probably setup on that system if it runs that deep in the infrastructure before evaluating a secure level and chflags.
