[comp.unix.questions] error with csh command line

Is there any thing wrong with the following?

setenv PATH `echo $PATH | sed "s;$OLDNAME/bin;$NEWNAME/bin;g"`

When I type this in csh under sco xenix 386 I get the error
``:bus error

interestingly enough the following does work.

setenv DIRT `pwd | sed "s;a;e;g"`

Does anyone have any ideas?
