Description Seth R Arnold 2005-10-27 15:50:19 UTC 
When logprof or genprof or other AppArmor tools are run by a user with PATH set to include ~/bin or other directories before system directories, and the user directories have executables that shadow system executables (such as date, md5sum, logger, etc) that do not work exactly as we assume they work, our applications behave in surprising ways.

Two possible solutions are: (a) reset PATH to something 'sane'. (b) hardcode paths to system-supplied executables rather than rely on the shell to find versions.
