DIR_COLORS messages


Launching a new xterm in my redhat linux prints out the following
*****************
/etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm
-f
/home/thsu/.dircolors
-f
/home/thsu/.dircolors.xterm
-f
/home/thsu/.dir_colors
-f
/home/thsu/.dir_colors.xterm

/home/thsu/.dir_colors.xterm
[thsu@stadk19: /home/thsu] $
*****************
The "less" utility prints the above lines as well instead of the content of the files being read. Tried adding softlinks for the missing file to /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm

I have googled many places, but still couldn't find any relevant information on this. Does anyone know anything about this? I have checked ~/.cshrc and the other resource files, and none of them refer to these files. It seems to be in the binary code of the shell that I'm using which is csh.
This is not a critical fix, but annoying. I just have to use cat <filename> | less in order to make less work.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
