sbgrid - word too long error

On one of our workstations, we started getting a word too long error from the labcshrc start up script, and hence unable to start the coot software.    The problem was that the setenv PATH was too long for tcsh to handle.   It looks like the sbgrid people tried to temporarily fix it by creating a link at /programs/l that linked to /programs/i386-linux , and in the shell script at /programs/i386-linux/linuxlabcshrc - all references to i386-linux was changed to l .   However,  there were some places in the script at /programs/labcshrc that set the path to i386-linux instead of just l , and it was using up valuable variable space.   Search and replace all references in labcshrc of /programs/i386-linux to /programs/l , and it should fix the “word too long” problem.
