Release Status: release

Description:
    I'm not sure this is a bug, but I notice that the
    command_not_found_handle function is not called if the "command" has a
    slash in it.  I can't find anywhere in the bash source producing the
    "No such file ..."  error message, so I guess this is being caught
    somewhere else before bash gets the command line to process.
    
    The behavior is not new; a second example is included below from v3.2,
    showing the same error message when the bad command looks like a path.

    I'd like to dig into this, to see if there's any hope of hooking into
    this case in order to provide a handler, but have no idea where to look.
    Is there any hope for this?

Repeat-By:
    $ export PS1='\$?=$?\n$ '
    $?=0
    $ 
    $?=0
    $ kj
    -bash: kj: command not found
    $?=127
    $ ./kjdf
    -bash: ./kjdf: No such file or directory
    $?=127
    $ command_not_found_handle() { cmd="$1"; exec echo "$cmd" "$@"; }
    $?=0
    $ kj a b c
    kj kj a b c
    $?=0
    $ ./kj a b c
    -bash: ./kj: No such file or directory
    $?=127
    $ bash --version
