[Bug binutils/5896] New: inconsistent behavior of bash re time

[doug at cs dot dartmouth dot edu]

These two bash sequences are not equivalent.
Clearly they ought to be.  The bash man page apparently agrees.

  % export X=x; time --version; unset X
  -bash: --version: command not found

  % unset X; X=x time --version
  GNU time 1.7

Behavior observed in:
  GNU bash, version 3.2.33(18)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
  GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i686-redhat-linux-gnu)
