I recall somebody else had trouble when we say 'cd blah' in our script and the CDPATH in the user's environment interfere and took us elsewhere.
I do not have any problem with people who have CDPATH defined as a plain shell variable (not exported) in their interactive shells, but I really do not see a point of having CDPATH as an environment variable, exported to be honored by any unsuspecting shell scripts.
Until somebody convinces me that CDPATH in the environment is a good idea, I do not have much sympathy to people with such an environment.
