Dear bash, Why do you insist on hashing the paths to commands. And never expiring the cache. Or detecting that it has gone stale. In this day and age, of more RAM and CPU than we know what to do with?
How hard would it be to record the device, inode and mtime of each entry in PATH, and automatically flush the cache if any change? Not hard, really. That's what I find hateful. Grumpily yours, Nicholas Clark
