The implementation of the "." shell builtin in bash violates the
POSIX spec:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
$ rm -rf /tmp/foo /tmp/bar
$ mkdir /tmp/foo /tmp/bar
$ cd /tmp/foo
$ echo echo hello > baz
$ export PATH=/tmp/bar
$ . baz
hello
According to the POSIX spec, the shell must not look in the
current directory for the script to execute.
Ciao
