Jay:

 I wrote to my local UNIX group and they suspect (they are not sure) that 
.bashrc is being run twice. They wrote:

I assume that the paths are getting echoed twice also? If so, your .bashrc 
is running twice for some reason. Perhaps once from /etc/profile and once 
from ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile.

Which is indeed the case. How could that happen? Why would .bashrc be run 
twice?
