Just to clear this up. The default shell in the first version or two 
of OSX was tcsh. According to 
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/02/24/bash.html
the change came in going from Jaguar to Panther. If you upgraded from 
Jaguar to Panther your default shell was not changed.

The URL above goes over some of the differences in the shells and how 
to switch it yourself
