addendum, it looks like a side effect of my 'cd' alias
alias cd 'cd \!*; set argv = (`dirs`); shift'
so the statement
echo `cd /tmp; echo *`
causes csh to do backquote substitution inside backquote substitution,
a condition that obviously never should occur, so dobackp() kindly
abort()s the child process. Sigh.
