When bash is started with the "-l" (that's an 'L') flag, aliases that
I've defined in .bashrc don't take effect. My .bash_profile includes a
call to .bashrc, and I know that .bashrc is being executed because
I've put an echo at the beginning and end of it, and both messages are
printed out. Even if I execute .bashrc manually, it will print out the
messages, but I get no aliases. I can, however, manually enter
aliases, and they work. I can also copy/paste the aliases from .bashrc
to the command line, and then they work.
