Fine. Then read that as "with libc doing the lookup", since execlvp() is
just a libc wrapper around the kernel execve().  The point I was trying
to get at was that I don't know if bash does all the PATH lookups
itself, or if it delegates; and therefore, I don't know if EXECIGNORE
can (or should) affect PATH lookups.
