Maybe I don't know any better, but it looks like Apple has complicated 
things quite a bit,
and unnecessarily! That's why I use bash ;)

It's hard to tell without actually sitting at your terminal and debugging 
(for me, anyway).
If you don't find the answer you need, my suggestion is the following:

1. fink install bash
(or sudo apt-get install bash)

2. In Terminal.app Preferences -> Shell, select "Use this shell:" and enter 
'/sw/bin/bash'

3. Create .profile in your home directory. It needs only this line:
. /sw/bin/init.sh

This works for me, and it seems to be the simplest.
