This probably isn't your problem, but:  I see that the failure shows up
immediately when you should have successfully logged into the account.
So one failure mode is that the .bash_login or some other part of
user-session-startup is hanging.  So check whether the same failure
pattern is seen when logging in to a different account on the same host.
