Thanks for the info. I found my culprit. It was a PATH= entry in one of
the scripts for Dag's j2re package (he has since fixed it). The entry
read PATH="/foo:/usr/foo:/usr/local/foo" and not
PATH=$PATH:/foo:/usr/foo

Every time I would start a console in X that script would run again (as
would all the others in /etc/profile.d) and wipe out the rest of my
path.
