I seem to recall that tcsh explicitly does a stty before it prints the first prompt, setting all of its standard settings. I have talked with a few SCO people who found this annoying, as SCO has some different (really demented, IMHO) ideas on what those settings should be (for example, intr is set to ^?.) They were confused about why their csh used ^?, and their tcsh used ^C. I suggest putting them in your .zlogin or .zprofile. Not specifying something like this is a good way to mess yourself up on cross-platform hops, not to mention the fun you get when your sysadmin decides to recompile your shell with different defaults, and forgets to mention it.
