First, please don't top-post. Second, you have an odd definition of "broken". |

You seem to have complete glossed over the last part of the sentence that you |
| 13 |
pasted: "if that file exists". Bash will *not* freak out and rape your dog if |
| 14 |
the file doesn't exist. All it means is that you get nothing more in your env |
| 15 |
than what's defined by /etc/profile. |
