crypt bug

Try to do these steps and tell me if I'm wrong.

echo "echo \"I'm here\"" > /tmp/crypt

chmod 755 /tmp/crypt

export PATH=/tmp:$PATH

cd /

Try to run:

/usr/bin/crypt

Everything is fine. We have to type key and then we will crypt everything :).

Now try to run:

/usr/bin/crypt key (we run crypt with one parameter)

Somehow crypt from /tmp is run, not the correct one from /usr/bin.

Magic? No. There is bug in crypt file but this is not my problem. Somewhere inside crypt, it tries to run itself(don't know why) but it using PATH to find crypt and it takes this crypt from tmp.

I checked this at work on Solaris 9.
