9:1 that the text is 'ksh: /etc/profile[xx]: \n: not found', which does 
sound like a lineend problem.

I ran into this once, when I modified /etc/profile with a text editor 
that didn't understand Unix newlines without paying attention.  Assuming 
that this is the cause, and that /etc is mounted binary, dos2unix should 
fix it.
