A sample of my .login file (for csh):

if ( "$tty" == "/dev/console" && "$TERM" == "sun" ) then
	echo starting suntools....
	sleep 2
	if ( "$host" == "leo" ) then
		setenv mono=true
		exec suntools
	else
		exec suntools -f 255 250 120 -b 0 0 120
	endif
endif


which automatically starts up suntools, after telling me.  Under csh,
I can interrupt the csh when it shows the starting message, and it
aborts the .login and I have a login shell.

Bash, however, when executing the .bash_profile, terminates the login
shell, so there is no way to do a (start suntools unless I interrupt)
type thing.  This is the only problem stopping me using bash as a
login shell.

Is this a bug?  Is there some other way to get this functionality?

This is fixed in 1.05.
