According to the BASH documentation, the source command should:
Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell environment
and return the exit status of the last command executed from filename. If
filename does not contain a slash, filenames in PATH are used to find the
directory containing filename. The file searched for in PATH need not be
executable. When bash is not in posix mode, the current directory is
searched if no file is found in PATH.
I wish bash wouldn't introduce gratuitous standard violations.
But wow, learn something every day... I never knew 'source' searched
PATH at all. I thought it just loaded a file with the same semantics as
'open()'.
This would be the danger of learning by example instead of reading the
manual.
