The could occur when doing terminal operations in the .profile start up script. In particular you shouldn't do stty, tset, resize, etc.

The standard trick is for interactive shells is:

# Set up the terminal:
if [ "${-%%*i*}" != "$-" ]; then
/bin/stty hupcl ixon ixoff
# use CTRL-z for suspending a process
/bin/stty erase "^H" kill "^X" intr "^C" eof "^D" susp "^z"
fi

this is what i have in .profile
if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
then
eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
else
eval ` tset -s -Q `
fi
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
stty hupcl ixon ixoff

If you still receive same error put it also in /etc/profile.
