bad path in bash

[Walton Hoops]

Ouch! That smack hurt!

I'd assume your right about it caching the path.  I had no idea it did that.
I had originally installed the Ubuntu MySQL, checked for partitioning
support, and then built from source instead.  A cache would explain why a
reboot fixed it too.

Huh.  Didn't know about that one. Thanks!

  help hash

for those following along at home.  It's a bash builtin and thus
doesn't have a man page.
