Actually, I don't think it ever gets to bin. In my traces it doesn't even look in /bin or /usr/bin and I don't see it in the trace you posted either. > I see the same behavior Tom does - if I create a link in ANY path > component before /bin, the behavior or ksh is different!

I'm starting to think the behavior may be that it uses the builtin "echo" unless it finds an equivalent command in a path OTHER than the standard /bin:/usr/bin:$HOME/bin path, but I'm still not 100% sure.
