Hi,

I had this problem. It is caused by that dam text editor in KDE wrapping at
line 79 when you modified /etc/profile. My system at home is still running
6.3 so I'm not sure of the line number but the error is towards the end
of the file.

The line that looks like this should be on the same line. (This is the one
from SuSE 6.3 but should be very similar).

if [ "$SHELL" = "/usr/bin/pdksh" -o "$SHELL" = "/usr/bin/ksh" -o "$SHELL" =
"/bin/ksh" ]; then
 
But the first thing to do is either stop using the KDE 'Text Editor' or
change the options to turn off the text wrapping off. 

Don't know who deamed this to be default option but they should be shot. As I
find the Text Editor more usable than the advanced editor as at least you can
change the font size to something usable.
