Re: [gentoo-user] Introduction (new member) and first ask-for-help... :-)

@Iain: I tried that but it didn't really work. But thanks to THAT suggestion
I found the solution to the problem. Read below.
@ Volker: I may try to do that, though I must say I've installed many
systems using the -Os instead of -O2 without a single problem. It turned out
to be something really simple, though still weird. Read below.

When I tried to turn off bash_completion by not invoking it when a shell
opens (and it didn't work) I had an insight. :-)
My $HOME/.bash_profile makes theese two calls:

> [[ -f $HOME/.bashrc ]] && . $HOME/.bashrc
> [[ -f /etc/bash_completion ]] && source /etc/bash_completion


My $HOME/.bashrc, among other things (regular ones), calls a script I have
with many (many many) aliases and mods for my shells. So this is my .bashrc:

> [[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] && source $HOME/.loginscript


When I decided to comment the above call to $HOME/.loginscript, everything
worked ok. No more memory leak problems, no more weird shell command
interpretation. Everything started to work Super (as Al Pacino would say in
Scent of a Woman). :-)
What do I have inside .loginscript? Here it is:

Again: I already do this with other computers I work with and never had a
problem with such thing. Two funny things: the very same sequence os scripts
runs when I login with my local user (rsaffi). No problem, just with root.
Another funny thing: after commenting the "[[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] &&
source $HOME/.loginscript" from the .bashrc file, the problem was gone.
Then, after I log in, I ran: "source ~/.loginscript" and had no problem.
That's weird.

Anyway, I appreciate your help, guys. Thanks for all the patience and tips.

Regards,

Saffi
