Thanks.  I hope this message makes it.

I did that and got a bash shell, thanks much.  

However, strangely, the "kill -9 ..." sequence you suggested itself
hangs within this bash shell.  (Actually, when the shell comes up it
does not know the right PATH, but this was easily fixed with
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH".)

Some commands work within the shell and some don't; e.g., tar and bzip2
work separately but tar -xjf doesn't (no error, just hangs).  Likewise,
latex hangs saying "kpathsea: running mktexfmt latexfmt".
