I'm really suprised to find it unreported but since the upgrade to bash-3.1-r2
it doesn't read my ~/.bash_profile now. I couldn't imagine it being a config
problem as going back seems to bash-3.0-r14 works fine. Any ideas?

do you have a ~/.bash_login ?
no, but some people dont realize that .bash_profile and .bash_login are mutal
exclusive
bash-3.1 behaves for me at any rate:
$ cd ~
$ mkdir old
$ mv .bash_login .bash_profile old/
$ echo 'echo profile' > .bash_profile
$ bash -l
profile
can you run the sample code i posted and see if it works for you
Ok, that bit of code does work, so the problem is a bit different than I'm
describing :/. When in gnu screen and I 'C-a C-c' or Create a new window with a
shell and switch to that window, .bash_profile is not run like it was in 3.0.
Created an attachment (id=77179) [details]
bash-3.1-fix-dash-login-shell.patch
ah, screen uses '-$SHELL' to start a login shell and there was a thread on
bug-bash about this being broken ... can you try this attached patch please ?
added to portage then, thanks for testing
