I updated tcsh since in the old version of tcsh I was running I
had problems with NIS/YP. In the old version typing 

toots> ls ~jolitz
Unknown user: jolitz.
(starting a csh and then typing the above gave the expected result)

Now with the just compiled tcsh-6.07-02 I get the follwomg strangeness:

toots> ls ~jolitz
toots>

Only when I once have done a cd ~jolitz ; ls then subsequent
ls ~jolitz deliver the expected ls listing.

It appears to happen only on the NIS client machines,
not the server. The respective home dirs are NFS mounted BTW.
The behaviour looks like tcsh directory caching problem.
