Hm. I tried a quick check here on 1.3.22 and couldn't reproduce this. Can you put together a small test that demonstrates this and/or provide the output from strace?
Well, <long pause here> ... that was a lot harder than I expected!

It turns out the problem *only* manifests if the executable and
directory are in the same directory.  Sorry, I had convinced myself
otherwise before.

Here's how to reproduce:

	mkdir /usr/bin/ls
	hash -r
	ls

Sorry.  Cygwin 1.3.15, Windows XP (and others); my cygcheck.out is
attached.

I was able to reproduce using 1.3.22 (Win2000).
