BTW: Can anyone please file a bug to stop setting variables like PATH in
interactive session startup scripts like ~/.bashrc and ~/.kshrc ? These
files are for stuff to set shell flags, local shell functions, local
variables etc. but should _not_ be used for setting PATH&co. since these
are usually exported globally to other process children (because they
are executed for each interactive shell session - which overrides the
values set of "bldenv"&co.) - that's the job of ~/.profile and
/etc/profile.
