It turned out to be the fortune program.  Thanks to all who suggested it.
Although I do not know why it started launching, since it never did
before, using the same account.  I am guessing that it did not exist in my
system before I upgraded to 4.5-STABLE though, and that is why it wasn't
executing.

Thanks,

Marco Radzinschi
