Awesome, Thanks for getting a variation of this added in the 5.1 release. I wasn't sure when we talked about this on the mailing list if you wanted the check for all entries in the has table or just ones when in posixly_correct mode. Thanks for the fix!

This patch fixes non-deterministic behavior for type and command in POSIX mode. I originally came across it when issuing the following set of commands.

user@gentoo ~/code/bash $ ./bash --posix
bash-5.0$ command -V useradd2
bash: command: useradd2: not found
bash-5.0$ type useradd2
bash: type: useradd2: not found
bash-5.0$ useradd2
bash: /usr/sbin/useradd2: Permission denied
bash-5.0$ command -V useradd2
useradd2 is hashed (/usr/sbin/useradd2)
bash-5.0$ type useradd2
useradd2 is hashed (/usr/sbin/useradd2)

Due to useradd2 being added into the hash table command and type would skip the checks to ensure the file was executable by the user. In stead of just fixing this when in POSIX mode we now always verify that the user can execute the command before adding it to the hash table.
