I discovered this strange behavior of eshell in emacs 23.1.1 (on MacOSX and Debian Lenny, both built from source, launched with '-q').
It seems that the presence of two slashes ("//") in a path breaks the search:
Example:
~ $ export PATH=/usr//bin
~ $ which m4
which: no m4 in (/usr//bin)
~ $ export PATH=/usr/bin
~ $ which m4
/usr/bin/m4
~ $
I mailed this to johnw@gnu.org (maintainer of eshell) who told me that it seems to be an Emacs issue.
Cheers,
Sebastien Mondet

The bug already seems to be fixed in the repository (to be 23.2). Thanks for the bug report, though.
