--- Comment #3 from Peter Wemm <peter at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hmm. I think the real problem is /etc/profile itself:
        for _file in "${_dir}"/profile "${_dir}"/profile.d/* ; do
In the Linux universe, profile.d uses shell extensions.  eg: sh runs *.sh,
csh/tcsh runs *.csh, and so on.

root at overcee:/home/peter # ls /usr/local/etc/profile.d/
vte.csh vte.sh

Our /etc/profile script isn't compatible with packages developed with Linux
expectations.
