When I let it run as a login shell it appears to first be running
/etc/profile and then dies at around line 153 or so and exits the shell
which is why I get the 'pause' prompt to press any key.

The only error I noticed so far is this:

    bash: /etc/profile.d/lang.sh: Bad address
    bash: /etc/profile.d/lapack0.sh: Bad address


Which doesn't make a lot of sense:

    bash-4.1$ ls -l /etc/profile.d/
    total 8
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator None 143 Jun 25  2010 lang.csh
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator None 130 Jun 25  2010 lang.sh
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator root 258 Aug 24 11:44 lapack0.csh
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator root 470 Aug 24 11:44 lapack0.sh
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator root 109 Dec  3 05:17 openssl.csh
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator root  41 Dec  3 05:17 openssl.sh
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator root  74 Mar 16  2010 xinit.csh
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator root  44 Mar 16  2010 xinit.sh

Except maybe that execute permissions at not on those scripts.  But are
they supposed to have execute permissions?  Could someone check their
1.7.7 installation and let me know  what permissions are on the files in
/etc/profile.d/?
