Check those "dot" files!  Someone once asked me to figure out why ksh
suddenly seemed to start taking forever to start.  I did an "ls -la"
and found that the ".history" file was 12Meg!  (To this day I have no
idea what caused this.)

Corrupted "dot" files can cause programs to behave in strange ways.
