    I talked with Qingtao Song behind the scenes to get more information
    about his computing environment. We discovered that he had "echo"
    statement in his .bashrc file that was causing output to be echoed to
    the screen whenever the file was sourced.

    When "ictrans" was being invoked, the output from the .bashrc file
    was causing ictrans to think it had a bunch of files on the command
    line, and thus it gave the "Too many file names" error message.

    Once the echo statement was removed from the .bashrc file, ictrans
    worked, and so did idt (which invokes ictrans).

    I am still trying to find out why an echo statement in a .bashrc file
    would cause this problem with ictrans, and when I do, I'll post the
    answer here.

    Cheers,
