Indeed! Thanks for telling me about this.
The man page however seems to say that a rehash is issued on *every*
external command completion request. Is it possible to rehash only on
every *failed* external command completion request.
I guess it doesn't really matter so much as I can't (yet) notice too
much of a performance penalty.
Thanks,
GI
