You have been subscribed to a public bug: /etc/profile loops over scripts in /etc/profile.d/ and checks them for readability via "if [ -r $i ]; then", however if someone was to make a script with a space in the name, that wouldn't work, and thus you'd need "$i" instead of just $i... bad practice to use spaces in this case, but a bash script bug nonetheless. I can't figure out what package /etc/profile is part of, or how to report a "base system" sort of bug, but nonetheless this script is automatically provided by the distro and that's a (somewhat insignificant) bug. :)
