Check your "$HOME/.shrc". By default there is line 'set -o emacs' and ksh
executes that file after $HOME/.profile.

I was bitten by the same problem and it took me a week to figure out what
was going on, especially since on OpenBSD/NetBSD similar $HOME/.profile
worked perfectly (I had no $HOME/.shrc there).
