Yes.  I thought you were actually experiencing problems with foo.sh,
that's why I was surprised.

Yes, thanks for pointing this out.

However, it doesn't seem to be right to have __dosexec_find_on_path
and __spawnve behave differently in this regard, especially since
(IIRC) Mark wanted __dosexec_find_on_path to be changed in the first
place.

As far as I could tell from the djgpp-workers archives,
__dosexec_find_on_path wasn't changed because Bash didn't need that.
But perhaps we should change it anyway.
