Anywhere. The point is that those variables may change during the time 
the interactive shell exists (or perhaps a non-interactive shell). In 
this case I noticed it because the file completion code needs to know 
the value of shell-file-name.

If shell-file-name is set globally somewhere to something different from 
that in the shell buffer things may fail (as they did here). I hope I am 
clear enough.
