Well...Im not too familiar with csh, but wouldn't the fact that there is a
misplacement of punctuation here?
#!/bin/csh
if (mv $* ~/tmp); then # notice the ;
echo "blah"
else
echo "another blah"
fi # endif vs fi...not sure.
Im not sure if csh uses endif if fi. Probably endif (realizing that csh is
a bit awkward from what Im use to)

UNIX - "segmentation fault - core dumped"
