gotcha.

my worry now becomes one of security - if somehow root's path is set
with a NULL component, and root decides to run a SIm command from /tmp,
then there's potential for a local (in some cases a remote) user to
get some code executed as root.  If we are setting $PATH, and screw up by
leaving a NULL component, I would consider this a security hole in SIS.

If we're just using the already-set $PATH, then I probably wouldn't consider it
a hole in SIS - rather, it'd be a mistake on the admin's part.

I'm on the fence here - anyone else have an opinion?
Sean - I think you originally introduced  this into SIS - did you intentionally
exclude this property of which, or were you oblivious about it as I was?
