I was thinking about something that messes up some memory used
somewhere when that `if' is executed. Wild guessing, of course, but
memory problems are the only ones I can think of when thinking about
the difference between FPATH in the environment and not in the
environment.

I may be completely wrong, of course. Debugging session in execif()
could tell us something.

Hm. I have some default function dirs...
