See the manual page for bash under the section INVOCATION. Your bashrc
should be evaluated if you invoke an interactive shell (login or xterm),
unless you pass the --norc or --rcfile arguments.
Perhaps bash is unable to determine if its input and output are attached
to a tty. Do you have problems with /dev/pty or devfs?
