Thats a ****VERY**** common mistake :-).

I'm almost thinking of submitting a patch to bash that given
a command like :

     bash $ some_command

and bash can't find some_command, it then looks in the current
directory and if there is a "some_command" there and its and
executable it prints:

    -bash: some_command: command not found
     maybe you should try "./some_command"
