Well, in [1] I'm arguing that the situation for ENAMETOOLONG is
_not_ the same. If one ignores ENAMETOOLONG errors from earlier PATH
elements, a user's intent to hide (override) a certain program from
later PATH elements is no longer honored.

One could consider this as security relevant. CCing Florian.
