Hello!

I  have  a very strange problem all with a sudden. Today I accidentally logged
out after removing a directory in my home that only  contained  just  unpacked
files  of  a  zip-file.  I  logged  out  with  C-d.  But I might have hit some
additional keys around d (it wasn't intended at all).
When logging in a moment later I got the messages:

Password:
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
-bash: NEWPATH: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

I think they come from the .bash_profile I have from LFS 5.1.1 (in the  append
function is a "local NEWPATH"). The shell I have seems to be bash (output from
ps -ef) and just seems to have an incomplete PATH. Propably because the append
function in bash_profile did not work.
I  can  log  in  as  root  or  another  normal  user  without  a  problem. The
.bash_profile does not differ except  for  additional  usages  of  append  and
export.

I  wonder  what  is  wrong,  how I can fix it and also how something like that
could happen? Could it be an intrusion or virus from the  zip-file?  Why  does
bash  think NEWPATH would be a command? Could it be some specific settings for
my user are corrupted?

Any help or hint mostly apreciated
Thanks,
Lynx
