The function "call-process" does not seem to locate programs in exec-path correctly. If my PATH variable is PATH=~/bin:/bin:/usr/bin and I happen to have a data file "ls", without execute permission, in ~/bin, then call-process will attempt to execute it, rather than /bin/ls. I'm not sure that this is the desired behavior, since the shell does it right. This is with version 18.55. -- Kamat
