bash is Bashed!

I have run into a strange situation (my workstation at the Mabel T.
Caverly Senior Center) where bash does not act like, well, bash. Here
are the symptoms:

Type "set" to see all the environmental variables.
  1. Regular user: a bash script scrolls ???
  2. Root: the environmental variables are printed to screen.
  3. Regular user after typing "sh" to get the old Borne Shell, normal
results a number 2, above.

I suspect there is a mis-configured something somewhere. Can anyone help?
