Did you strip the binary?  On my machine, that cut it down from 624K
to 192K.  And that is with editline linked in.  Compiling with
assertions off might make it smaller yet.  On our machine, tcsh and
bash are considerably larger (though bash is statically linked, so the
comparison is not quite fair).
