I preferred to do the equal thing on a single line:

$ procmail LOG='"$PATH"' /dev/null < /dev/null; echo
/home/roal/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

which is exactly the same result I posted in my previous mail. As said
there, 'test' resides in the third location (/usr/bin/test) and does
not reside in /bin/test (which is the second location of PATH).

So you guess procmail is treating "test" as a shellmeta "character"
and that is because there is no /bin/test, but there is /usr/bin/test?
I am getting more and more confused off all this secrets I have no
explaintation for :-)
