bash appears to disables the reading of .profile in POSIX mode entirely.
This isn't quite correct. By default, a login shell named `sh' or `-sh'
reads /etc/profile and ~/.profile. You can compile bash for `strict posix'
conformance, or invoke it with POSIXLY_CORRECT or POSIX_PEDANTIC in the
environment, and it won't.
