On a pure DOS 5.0/djgpp 2.03+ system, running bash 2.04.7(2),
I observed the following behaviour with the latest port of 'which':

[which 2.11]

foo% which gcc
/dev/c/usr/djgpp/bin/gcc.exe

[which 2.20]

foo% which gcc
(null): Can not canonicalize DOS path "c:\usr\bin"foo% 
foo% /usr/djgpp/bin/which gcc
(null): Can not canonicalize DOS path "c:\usr\bin"foo% 
foo% /usr/djgpp/bin/which gcc.exe
(null): Can not canonicalize DOS path "c:\usr\bin"foo% 

where c:\usr\bin happens to be the first component of my PATH:

foo% echo $PATH
/dev/c/usr/bin;/dev/c/usr/local/bin;c:\usr\djgpp/bin;.

(The mix of /dev/c, c:, forward- and reverse-slashes is
intentional -- to help provoke/isolate problems with path
name parsing.)
