Sun 7.7L: Bizarre machtype behavior ONLY ON LOGIN.

I just noticed the following sequence of messages in my console as I log on:

11:43 Setting up environment...
11:43 usage: machtype [-v] [-c] [-d] [-r] [-E] [-N] [-M]
11:43              [-k kernel] [-m memory] [-A] [-L] [-P]
11:43 
11:43 93% of the disk quota on /mit/wdc has been used.

I GUESS it's choking on the lines:

if (`/bin/athena/machtype` != "sun4") then
      /usr/athena/access_on
endif

Except that when I run them by hand, or source .environment, I get NO
complaint.
I grep'ed for machtype in .??*, but only turned it up in .environment.

Any clues where I should look to further isolate this problem?
It happens ONLY on the Sun. Only (apparently) when I am logging in.
EVERY time I log in.
