 If PATH environment variable contains non directory component,
 execvpe fails by ENOTDIR.

 For example, if "/tmp/foo" is a regular file, the following program fails
 with PATH contains "/tmp/foo".
 {{{
 module Main where

 import System.Environment
 import System.Posix.Process

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
     env <- getEnvironment
     executeFile "echo" True [] (Just env)
     return ()
 }}}

 {{{
 $ PATH=/tmp/foo:$PATH runghc a.hs
 a.hs: echo: executeFile: inappropriate type (Not a directory)
 }}}
