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'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.

Later,
