*If* you do these twists and turns, you would eventually end up with
the presented ps-output. But this is not what George has done.

BTW: Do you have any additional checks in .login? Otherwise, you would
probably create a nice loop (as the new login-shell would execute .login).
The other possibility is, that the shell you get is not a login-shell,
and the -tcsh magic doesn't work.
