Always, as in forever and ever?  Or since the .app was available?  Or  
since some other change in GRASS?

Fishing for ideas: are there old dot files in your home that might  
being getting in the way, like maybe old tcsh init files  
(.profile, .login, .tcshrc and others), or something in .grass.bashrc  
(maybe something you want set)?  I've heard of bash (on OSX at least)  
reading tcsh init files.
