Hm, I can still reproduce it under Debian 9, using the `devel' branch, and I'm sure no startup files are being sourced. dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash-builds/devel$ ./bash --norc --noprofile bash-4.4$ declare -p command-not-found bash: declare: command-not-found: not found bash-4.4$ GNU bash, version 4.4.12(3)-maint (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) bash-4.4$ PATH= read -e bash: vim: No such file or directory echo this is vim this is vim I then patched bash like this: dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ git diff -- execute_cmd.c diff --git a/execute_cmd.c b/execute_cmd.c index 0183a105..50f4e2f0 100644 --- a/execute_cmd.c +++ b/execute_cmd.c @@ -5550,6 +5550,7 @@ shell_execve (command, args, env) char sample[HASH_BANG_BUFSIZ]; int sample_len; + if (strlen(get_string_value ("PATH")) > 0) abort(); SETOSTYPE (0); /* Some systems use for USG/POSIX semantics */ execve (command, args, env); i = errno; /* error from execve() */ And I got (the first `\C-x \C-e' gets to shell_execve, but PATH is empty): dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash-builds/devel$ ./bash --norc --noprofile bash-4.4$ ulimit -c unlimited bash-4.4$ GNU bash, version 4.4.12(9)-maint (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) bash-4.4$ PATH= read -e bash: vim: No such file or directory Aborted (core dumped) Core was generated by `./bash --norc --noprofile'.
