What package you are talking about? If you did not modified anything
unusual on your system, fill in bug report on that package... Do not
forgive emerge --info.

 I see nothing really like this on bugzilla although their are other

 fisrst tell me if its really a bug or something to do with my
 ill-informed setup.

Thanks for noticing my post Walter.

   A couple of things to look at...

   1) Do you have SANDBOX mentioned anywhere in /etc/make.conf ?

No

   2) Grasping at straws here, have you made any manual changes to
  /etc/profile ?  The reason I'm asking is because
  /usr/share/sandbox/sandbox.bashrc sources /etc/profile

I don't recall having done so, and looking it over now I don't see any
thing funky looking like I might have put there.  I did have an 

  `echo reading /etc/profile'

in there at one point trying to unravel something and wanted to see
when it was sourced, but I removed that long ago.

There is quite a lot of sourcing going on in /etc/profile too, like
/etc/profile.env /etc/profile.d/bash-conpletion 

I wish they'd sort of leave the init scripts a little less complicated
to unravel.  Or at least.. I wish I knew a way to in one command make
the os tell me where everthing in env came from (which file I mean).

It seams a little wild that it would go after my .bash_history.  What
would it be doing there... what would it write there and why?

A little less subjective test: I'm building up a small vmware
appliance from new install disc (2007.X) and diffing that /etc/profile
against the one where the trouble is shows no differences at all.
