I would suggest a small change to /etc/profile.
/etc/profile is being run by bash, which has pretty substantial filename expansion. For example,
echo [a-z]ib
Will respond 'lib' if there is a lib directory. In /etc/profile, there is a tr command:
/usr/bin/tr [:upper:] [:lower:]
which is hitting a couple of directories in my $HOME, namely 'r' and 'w'. So the tr is getting weird arguments (tr r w r) and complaining. This could be fixed by changing that part to
/usr/bin/tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
Please let me know if there's a bug tracking system, or similar, to which you'd rather me submit this bug report.
Thanks, Webb Roberts
