(The mounting was clear to me, but didn't remember the details.)
So it seems that I should better make changes directly to /etc/profile (as I always did in the past)?
Anyway, thanks again!

Editing /etc/profile.local is still the recommended way as it is not overwritten on updates/upgrades. But it should be created from scratch, not as a copy of /etc/profile. There is code in /etc/profile that loads /etc/profile.local - so if you copy everything, you end up with a recursive loop and who knows what might happen! This was probably the source of your crash. Create /etc/profile.local as an empty file and put in only the specific bits you want.
I see; works now. I assumed that profile.local would be used instead of profile (reading through the shell-script and finding out what happens can be done, but is not such a trivial matter; I would think explaining in profile, that profile.local should only contain the additional bits is a little thing, but can be quite useful).
