Bug reports:

I had a funny problem where every time I'd run homebrew install ... my mac would go to sleep. Well, it turns out that I'd written a script to sleep the mac and named it sleep -- like an idiot, I know. Anyway, it exposes the larger issue that a self contained system like homebrew is calling sleep instead of /bin/sleep

Propose a feature:

Since the user's environment shouldn't mess up homebrew, maybe set the PATH= while homebrew is running. This will force people to notice when they make the mistake of calling a tool without an absolute path.

Agreed, this is part of #932.

In might also be good to hunt down calls to `sleep` and replace them with something more precise since in most cases `sleep` will be a kluge that makes things needlessly slow.
