I've noticed this behavior since 4.3, but it's just now starting to
get really annoying.

Whan I install a new application (from ports) I have to execute it
with the full path until I start a new shell. (in sh, tcsh, and bash)

What causes this behavior, and how can I fix it (cause newly installed
apps to be executable without a full path)?
