Anyone know?: How the 'for'-loop could stop working in interactive bash shell?!

Hello,
this may be a long shot, but maybe You have an alias or something that is active in Your first shell (a login shell perhaps, that read .bash_login?) and the next shell is not a login shell and hence has some other definitions that overrule the first ones?
save output from alias and set from each shell and compare them. It maybe a lot of text but You said You wanted to understand...
use sort and -u on each file to narrow down size and then diff.
