First find out definitely what shell you are using. Then, make sure
you use the right startup script, i.e. .profile for sh, .cshrc
for csh, etc.
Do a `which rehash` to find out if some buzzhead wrote a no-op,
named it rehash, and put it into the path. Output should be:
	no rehash in <your_path>

I can't think of another reason right now except if your filesystem
or shell is seriously broken. If the above doesn't help try using sh
and csh alternatively and check if it happens on both. Also try
invoking the executable directly, i.e. ./myprog, or ./bin/myprog.
