Re: Inferior process mystery

Yep, that is in fact the problem.  But how do I discover what is changing my 
exec-path?

,----[ C-h v exec-path RET ]
| exec-path is a variable defined in `callproc.c'.
| Its value is
| (nil "/usr/X11/bin/" "/sbin/" "/usr/sbin/" "/bin/" "/usr/bin/" 
"/Users/dave/src/git-submodule-tools/" "/opt/local/sbin/" "/opt/local/bin/" 
"/usr/local/sbin/" "/usr/local/git/bin/" "/usr/local/bin/" 
"/Users/dave/bin/git-scripts/" "/Users/dave/bin/" "/Users/dave/bin" 
"/Users/dave/bin/git-scripts" "/usr/local/bin" "/usr/local/git/bin" 
"/usr/local/sbin" "/opt/local/bin" "/opt/local/sbin" 
"/Users/dave/src/git-submodule-tools" "/usr/bin" "/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/sbin" 
"/usr/X11/bin" "." "/opt/local/libexec/emacs/24.0.94/x86_64-apple-darwin11.3.0")
| 
| Original value was 
| ("/opt/local/bin" "/opt/local/sbin" "/bin" "/sbin" "/usr/bin" "/usr/sbin" 
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_dave_Public_MacPorts_Portfiles_editors_emacs24-macport/emacs24-macport/work/emacs-24.0.94/lib-src"
 "/opt/local/libexec/emacs/24.0.94/x86_64-apple-darwin11.3.0")
|

|   This variable is potentially risky when used as a file local variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| *List of directories to search programs to run in subprocesses.
| Each element is a string (directory name) or nil (try default directory).
| 
| You can customize this variable.
