shell also fails. I've tried reinstalling dash from startup.exe, but

ash and dash are identical, and both provided by the dash package.


If you can't start dash, I have to suspect interference from BLODA.
I have two identically configured computers running the same corporate
mandated software (potential BLODA). One starts ash fine, the other is
the one under discussion.

BLODA works in mysterious ways. ;-)


Actually, timing is everything.  So tracking down the BLODA is a
worthwhile exercise, despite the apparent inconsistency.
