tcsh and .EXE files in path

Hi all,
I'm having some strange behaviour with tcsh. My path is set to this:
/homes/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32
/cygdrive/c/WINNT /cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem
/cygdrive/c/Oracle/Ora81/bin /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Oracle/jre/1.1.7/bin
/usr/DevStudio/SharedIDE/bin/ide /usr/DevStudio/SharedIDE/bin
/usr/DevStudio/VC/bin
I get the following undesirable behaviour where I can't run a program
called NMAKE.EXE in /usr/DevStudio/VC/bin without typing the full
"NMAKE.EXE" name:
>nmake
nmake: Command not found.
>nmake.exe
nmake.exe: Command not found.
>NMAKE
NMAKE: Command not found.
>NMAKE.EXE
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.62.7022
If I get rid of some of the path elements:
>set path=($path[1-6] $path[12])
>rehash
>nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.62.7022
It works. If I restore my original path and get rid of the elements I
didn't remove the first time:
>set path=($path[7-11] $path[12])
>rehash
>nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.62.7022
It also works. So it looks like it's related to the number of elements in
the path (or the number of binaries on the path), rather than any particular
entry in the path.
Is tcsh adding entries for the "NMAKE.EXE" version of the program name, and
then not adding the further entries ("NMAKE", "nmake.exe" and "nmake")
because it's run out of memory or something? Or is there something else
here I'm missing?
I'm runing "CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DOSHEA-W2K 1.1.8(0.34/3/2) 2001-01-31 10:08 i686
unknown" with tcsh 6.10.00-3.
Regards,
David
