Bash Version: 4.0 Patch Level: 24 Release Status: release Description: I'm using my own version of emacs/emacsclient, whose bin directory is placed before the system's default directories in my PATH. When launching bashbug, emacsclient fails to find its socket. However, I have no problems using emacsclient from the shell directly. Repeat-By: Create a script decorating an editor also provided by the system, put the script in your personal PATH, set EDITOR to point to that script (by name, not by full path) and call bashbug. The editor called is the system's one, not your personal version. Fix: Do not prepend system paths in front of PATH in the bashbug script. Instead, these default paths could be appended to PATH if necessary.
