Can you define "unstable" further?

Are both home directories on the same disk - same sort of filesystem? (XFS,
EFS etc..)

How is the script set up?

If you don't specify -f for [t]csh - then it'll load your $HOME/.[t]cshrc before
it starts the script....

If it's not already there try adding

#!/usr/bin/tcsh -f

to the the top of your script.
