For what it's worth, here's my /etc/shells:


#
# Let's insert some comments, to make getusershell allocate
# a bit more memory.  Maybe that will help some.
#
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/bash
/bin/ksh


And, in response to the comment, that did help.  Seems there's a
memory allocation bug in getusershell; the comment forces it to
allocate more memory, and things work fine now.
