Yes, it's line 628 in csh.c in the -current tree as of last Saturday...
...

This machine is always at -current, built every Saturday night western USA
time on the -current tree.
csh.c was hit a few weeks ago, and I have been getting this message since
then on a straight root login. My root environment is the old vanilla:
# $Id: dot.cshrc,v 1.12 1994/10/27 05:26:59 phk Exp $
#
...
set path=(/sbin /usr/sbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin)
...
I made no changes to any *rc scripts.
Just for reference.
