Can you launch GNU Emacs from your home directory or /tmp with the -Q option
and try in *scratch* buffer
(getenv "SHELL")
and also
(shell-command-to-string "env | grep SHELL")
The first command will show you which value is set in the environment in which
you GNU Emacs instance is running. The second command will be executed in a
sub-shell – and return the same value plus any other disturbances your shell is
producing at start-up. The draw your conclusions!
If the second command fails the same way as in your post, then it's possible
that GNU Emacs has loaded inappropriate ELisp files…
