Thanks, that's a good idea.  Unfortunately, I don't have time to do this today.  I did, however, track this down to the root cause.  The user I was changing to was using tcsh as their shell (like many of our users are), and this problem got introduced with the tcsh-6.17-19.el6.2 update.  Downgrading tcsh to the previous release fixes the problem.
