Uncomment the following line:

>   source .bashrc
>
>My .bashrc looks like:
>
>   echo Welcome to .bashrc\($SHLVL\)
>   shopt -s nocaseglob

Don't really know why it happens, but you can get around this by
uncommenting
the "source .bashrc" line in your .profile-file.
I guess you have a file called profile in your /etc directory , that is
calling the .profile-script
in your HOME-Directory too.
Uncomment the "test -f ./.profile && . ./.profile" line and you will have
only one "Welcome "
for each file. Hope this helps...
