    Every once in a while, when I start a new xterm, bash will not give me a
    prompt. This has happened on different machines, and under the last few SuSE
    distributions. It's a very minor annoyance, but it's so fundamental to the
    very concept of Linux/Unix (http://www.unix.org/) that it needs to be
    addressed. Have other's noticed this?
