The reason why stat() opens a file even with ntsec is to use

AFAIK this applies only when (smb)ntsec isn't in effect. Correct me if I am wrong.

bash walks down the PATH looking for anything that matches the name.
It remembers the first match but keeps walking until it finds an executable.
If no executable is found, it returns the first match, if any.
If it's a directory, too bad (a non-executable file can be masked by a directory).
