Sorry about that; they just installed new news software here and apparently
they let in a hungrier line eater.


The command in the subject:
	bash -login -rcfile foo
silently fails to source foo; the -login forces no sourcing of .bashrc, and
doesn't realise that one has been explicitly requested.

I personally think that the -rcfile should be obeyed, but at the least
a warning seems reasonable.
