FWIW, this happens anytime you use /bin/csh as root's shell and boot into
single user mode.  Similar to /.profile being used for single user mode if
root's shell is /bin/sh.  Given we've changed the default shell for root,
then it's fine to do this change, but that probably should have been noted
in the commit log (in part to serve as a reminder so we don't remove the
links for sh).
