Bug in csh/tcsh 6.12 (and later): ignoring 'x' attribute on files in path

[Tim Hubberstey]

It appears that csh/tcsh executes any file it finds that matches the
filename specified as a command, regardless of whether or not the 'x'
bit is set. I have run the following check on both 6.12 and the latest,
6.13-2, on 3 different computers, with the same results.

% ls -l not_a_script
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Administ None 20 Jul  6 23:49 not_a_script

% cat not_a_script
echo This is wrong!

% not_a_script
This is wrong!
