No, I haven't upgraded. I installed RealPlayer, the R statistical
system, Kerberos for Windows, and KLP (for Kerberos printing), but I
doubt those are related to the issue, and I also need this software
more than I need bash to directly work in rxvt.

I usually just use a shortcut to a script that runs "rxvt -e bash
--login -i". I can't think of any way other than using the -e argument
to directly run bash in rxvt. Any workarounds would also be
appreciated.
