In posix mode, bash only looks for ~/.profile, but when you run it in
non-posix mode, it will look for ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bash_login
first. You probably have a ~/.bash_profile in addition to ~/.profile.

Assuming this is the case, I suggest you merge whatever it contains into
~/.profile, and remove the ~/.bash_profile file.
