PIPESTATUS doesn't work in login shell

[Wayne]

The Bash builtin PIPESTATUS works as advertized unless you are at
a login shell.  Here is the output:

/faculty/wpollock> uname -a
Linux localhost 2.4.18-18.7.x #1 Wed Nov 13 20:29:30 EST 2002 i686
unknown
/home/wpollock> bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05.8(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)

/home/wpollock> who | grep nobodyishome | sort
/home/wpollock> echo ${PIPESTATUS[*]}

Thanks!
