I don't normally use csh, but it is installed on one of the systems
I use. I executed csh in an xterm on a Fedora 17 system, then ran
vim. I tried a number of editing operations and never saw any
screen corruption.

It might help if you started vim as

$ vim -N -u NONE

and could give us some minimal sequence of steps that demonstrate
the problem.

Following the suggestions from Tony and Tim would be good, too.
