weird behaviour with 'less'

Hi all,

I am experiencing a weird behaviour of the 'less' command. I wonder if
anyone else has it. It looks to me that everytime I invoke less, like

> less somefile.txt

it re-sources my .cshrc before executing. For example,

> less dyson.F

[prints stuff that rolls out of view, then shows me the file. After I
quit (q), my screen has:


> less dyson.F

 * Found existing gpg-agent (5352)
 * Known ssh key: /home/seabra/.ssh/id_dsa

(The stuff above is supposed to appear whenever I start a shell).
Also, if I try to put something like ' echo "Ready!" ' in the end of
.cshrc, less will only show me the "Ready!" string!

Does anybody else sees this? Is there a solution for it?

Thanks,
