I was able to get the alpine package maintainers to merge in a patch for tcsh that fixed the out of memory issues when attempting to use it as seen here: https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pull/3302. This commit has been lightly hand tested and basic tcsh features appear to work. There are some failures on alpine with the tcsh regression test suite which can be seen here: http://tpaste.us/L6R4.
Associated symlinks that replaced tcsh with bash have been removed as a result of this update.
Squashed commit of the following:
