The file ~/.coot may define a specific binary, which I assume will override
anything in $PATH.

The Phenix GUI will modify this file (only if you launch Coot from it) to
ensure that Coot can find Probe, which could be causing the problem - I
didn't take into account the possibility of a home directory being shared
across multiple platforms.  Sorry if this is the case.  Fortunately, I'm
pretty sure I can do this on the fly from Python instead and leave ~/.coot
alone.
