'source' and '.' is two names of one builtin.
As reffered in bash(1):
source filename [arguments]
.... If filename does not contain a slash, file
names in PATH are used to find the directory containing file-
name. The file searched for in PATH need not be executable.
But we have
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l `which file`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10088 2004-12-06 12:55 /usr/bin/file
This error message is produced with:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ . `which file`
bash: ELF: command not found
As result there are two bugs:
1) source builtin must produce better error messages ( try to start
'bash /usr/bin/file', its message is better )
2) source builtin does not work correctly with search of
non-executable files in $PATH
Thanks.
