...and a second problem:

I have two programs named `ls' on my pc. One is /usr/bin/ls (without
.exe suffix) and the other is /Program Files/NTRESKIT/LS.EXE

In the environment variable $PATH, /usr/bin is mentioned earlier than
/Program Files/NTRESKIT. On commandline

	ls -l

starts /usr/bin/ls,

	strace ... ls -l

starts /Program Files/NTRESKIT/LS.EXE

Why?
