"echo $PATH" in KOReader terminal shows the custom stuff at the end though, so I'm guessing users have to choose between sane conventions and "compatibility mode"?


Fortunately dropbear doesn't seem to care as you point out.
In fact, I commented out both path variables (and prepending the full path to the exec statement) and it still worked.(The reason is left as an exercise for bored users.)
