Shalom,

stty -a

I'm thinking the terminal environment is not compatible with the shell.

Hi,

I assume 'stuck' means, that none of your input produces a reaction.

As a first attempt, change to the user via a plain
su usernam

Then call
tcsh -X
which will trace all calls done in .cshrc and friends. So you can determine the command causing the blocking.

If a SIGKILL did not terminate a process, then nearly always an I/O-request (like trying to open something via NFS) is involved - maybe the $path contents NFS mounted directories, which are not/no langer reachable.

I thought about nfs also, but even after i umounted all nfs`s the problem remained .
Actually I came to think its a patch problem,
I have a 5 years old patches installed.
