+There must be some blocking / dead-locking (?) problem in `term`:
+
+ # w | grep [t]sch
+ tschwing p1 192.168.10.60: Tue 8PM 0:03 2172 /bin/bash
+ tschwing p2 192.168.10.60: Tue 4PM 40hrs 689 emacs
+ tschwing p3 192.168.10.60: 8:52PM 11:37 15307 /bin/bash
+ tschwing p0 192.168.10.60: 6:42PM 11:47 8104 /bin/bash
+ tschwing p8 192.168.10.60: 8:27AM 0:02 16510 /bin/bash
+
+Now open a new screen window, or login shell, or...
+
+ # ps -Af | tail
+ [...]
+ tschwinge 16538 676 p6 0:00.08 /bin/bash
+ root 16554 128 co 0:00.09 ps -Af
+ root 16555 128 co 0:00.01 tail
+
+`bash` is started (on `p6`), but newer makes it to the shell promt; doesn't
+even start to execute `.bash_profile` / `.bashrc`. The next shell started, on
+the next available pseudoterminal, will work without problems.
+
+The `term` on `p6` has already been running before:
+
+ # ps -Af | grep [t]typ6
+ root 6871 3 - 5:45.86 /hurd/term /dev/ptyp6 pty-master /dev/ttyp6
+
+Killed it, and things were fine again.
