How are you running this function?  I've tried this many many times on many
different machines and I always get the desired effect.  I've tried creating
a simple script with just that function and a "logon" and everything works
correctly.  I've tried typing "logon" from bash and everything works.

Is this function part of a .profile?  Do you just type 'logon' at the
bash command prompt?

Can you duplicate this problem under strace?

strace -b16384 -osomefile -f bash

If so, please send 'somefile' to this mailing list.

Thanks.
