I wouldn't expect the values of the shell args to matter in most
cases, but if the shell is started with them set to something in
particular for a specific reason, having the .bashrc reset them might
cause odd behavior.
$ echo $1
$ set -o | grep noclobber
noclobber off
$ set noclobber
$ echo $1
noclobber
$ set -o | grep noclobber
noclobber off
$ set -o noclobber
$ set -o | grep noclobber
noclobber on
$

"set noclobber" is the correct syntax for [t]csh, so that would make sense.

As I said in my last message, this is correct; I was wrong. Sorry about that.
