I've found that I need to do the following:

or I get odd failures.  So I've actually set that up as an alias:

This sounds like you have issues with the default $PATH order.

Nope, /usr/bin is in the front of my regular $PATH. Check the archives -- it has something to do with the size of the environment block being too big when spawning the new process. IIRC. So making the $PATH short makes the env block smaller...
