Since you say it didn't happen with earlier versions, I don't see how it 
makes sense to reference posts from April and January.

Also, please don't confuse terminology.  A "shell" is a program like 
Bash, csh, etc.  I think you mean "terminal," but your post isn't clear 
enough to make me certain of that.
