I just had to go look to see if I could find some stats as the 10% number
seemed wrong to me the first time.  From Freefall, what I would call a
pretty good representation of hard core BSD users :-) we have the following
stats:

freefall:rgrimes {107} ypcat passwd | grep bin/csh | wc
      44     163    2965
freefall:rgrimes {108} ^cs^tcs
     115     406    9409

Ahhh... 44/115 != 0.10 == 0.38 or 38%.  David's statistic is off by a
factor of 3.8 :-(
