Not that I disagree with Corinna's decision, but Andrey's followup
doesn't necessarily apply (nor is it important in my case).

Bash is testing for the existence of a user's "mbox", in the spool
directory -- it prints no error if it is not found -- I don't know
that it is important that it should as one can [re]set the system mbox
path if they want, in the startup scripts.  Just that this mbox
check uses some internally compiled name that is checked before
any user scripts are run.

Still doesn't fix the problem of the ENV being zeroed in 'login'
which triggered this problem in the first place.
