I would suggest that where the source and the binary disagree, the
binary is a better forcaster of the programs's actions when run.

If you're really paranoid, try the following:


        # Copy the path into a variable which won't accidentally be
        # changed by the shell.
        FOO = $PATH

        # Save it to a file
        :0 ic
        |echo $FOO >$HOME/procmail_path

Then send yourself mail and checkout $HOME/procmail_path
