Public bug reported:

I found a strange problem. I set an environment variable in /etc/profile

But when the computer rebooted, this variable hasn't been set. I have to
manually use "source" command to set it. And the "source" could work.

How could this happen? And how to fix it?

Here is the shell log:

I am using Ubuntu 7.04 beta.
