I set my default shell to /bin/bash.
I kept the contents of my .profile as they were, making sure to export all of
the variables I wanted, and bracketed them with tests like so:
eval profile_read=\$${USER}_profile_read
if [ -n "$profile_read" ]
then {
echo `date` "~/.profile already read" >>/tmp/$USER.init_scripts
return
}
fi
…and…
eval export ${USER}_profile_read=true
echo `date` "~/.profile sourced" >>/tmp/$USER.init_scripts
if [ -x "/opt/local/bin/bash" ]; then
[ "$BASH" != "/opt/local/bin/bash" ] && exec /opt/local/bin/bash
fi
