The use case (reading between the lines) had to do with ping-pong'ing between /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin though. And I know that without checkhash that I used to see that condition too. But with checkhash the complaint (from me) went away entirely. I admit I didn't look at it in great detail here now because I have had checkhash in use for so long and not seen this problem since. I'll need to experiment. Bob
