if the idea of running ktrace or the debugger on login doesn't seem
attractive (both basically require an additional login session), since
you mentioned that the machine has only one user, you could put
debugging printfs into login to try to bracket the problem.

(While you're at it, see
http://www.math.umsl.edu/~sanjiv/sys_sec/security/thompson/hack.html
for some of Ken Thompson's suggested features for login.)
