bash not running bash_profile or bashrc

[Poor Yorick]

I recently deleted c:\cygwin and my package repository and then 
installed cygwin again using the latest setup.exe.  The first xterm that 
gets fired up with startxwin.bat correctly runs .bash_profile.  However, 
if I start another xterm from that xterm, neither .bash_profile nor 
.bash_rc is run.  PS1 gets reset to "$".  The second xterm also loses 
tab-completion functionality.  I do, however, in the second xterm, get 
the "Your group is currently "mkpasswd" message.

Because it might be related, I'll describe a second problem. The command

mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd

seems to hang.  I get no output and it never completes. 

I would appreciate any suggestions.
