Bash 1.04 correctly interprets a PATH of ":/bin:/usr/bin" to mean
"search the currect directory first." However, it does not correctly
interpret "/bin:/usr/bin:" which is supposed to mean "search the
current directory last." This patch fixes the bug.
Note that this bug affects CDPATH as well, and this patch fixes it too.
