Bug: Bash fails to execute script w/ same name as W2K program (despite proper PATH ordering)


Using Bash 2.05.0(8) under Cygwin 1.3.1-1, a shell script named the same
as a program in c:\winnt\system32 is not executed, even if it is in a
directory that appears ahead of /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32 in the value
of PATH.  To reproduce:

bash$ hash -r
bash$ type -a ipconfig
ipconfig is /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/ipconfig
bash$ ipconfig

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : pyxsys.net
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 140.249.0.69
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 140.249.0.249
bash$ cat > /tmp/ipconfig
#!/bin/sh
echo foobar
^D
bash$ PATH="/tmp:$PATH"
bash$ hash -r
bash$ ipconfig
