bash: /usr/bin/id: Input/output error

[Robert Giles]

This just started happening about 20 minutes ago - get this message
twice right before my .bash_login is executed.

At the same time, my .bash_login was also chowned to a different UID
with 0600 (instead of 0755) - any ideas why this would happen
spontaneously?

... have replaced netstat, ps, etc. with 'fresh' copies, but nothing
suspicious.

Any ideas?

TIA
