If creating another account doesn't show the problem, here's a quick
and really dirty way to see what's happening. If your login shell
is /usr/local/bin/bash, change it to /usr/local/bin/mybash where
mybash holds something like this (assuming you have /bin/truss):
#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/truss -o /tmp/mybash.$$ /usr/local/bin/bash
exit 1
Login, exit, fix your shell, login again, and look for any "open"
calls in the truss output. HTH.
