That sounds awfully odd to me... /etc/profile should be executed on
login- and your ~/.bashrc should "exec /etc/bashrc" if it exists.
What's the line you're inserting into these files? Your syntax may be

OK, well, maybe there's a flaw in how I'm testing this:
I edit ~/.bashrc which before I edit it looks like this: # .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
alias rm='rm -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
