Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. I found the problem in
the end: I had a file in $HOME/bin called "which", containing the one
line "type -path". Deleting this made things work normally. I don't know
why it had this effect, especially since I have the same file on a
different machine where it doesn't produce this effect. Anyway, it's
fine now.
