Could you send a non-creatively edited strace here?

Breaking it down to the shortest possible test case would help, i.e., if

bash -c "/bin/pwd; /bin/pwd" causes the problem that would be helpful since
we wouldn't have to wade through tons of irrelevant strace output.

OTOH, if it has to be an interactive bash script, don't try to edit out
what you think are irrelevant parts of the strace.  Just send the whole
thing.

If it is long then please bzip2 compress it before sending.
