try putting this in .profile as a temporary fix.

logout () {
	banner "Bye Bye!!!"
	stty 0
}
trap logout 0

this will leave the logout function in the lowest level shell and 
will log the user out using "stty 0" even if ctrl-D is hit. I use this 
method on my account to log both logins and logouts to a file and it has
not failed so far.
