I think that's why I had an explicit path there, because I had an older
version that used a wrapper script to preload a gnumalloc to keep it from
crashing when running Java applets, but when I got the prerelease of
4.04j2, I wanted to bypass that (the script was under /usr/local/bin), but
I forgot to go back and change it, which I did this morning.
