When did you last see such problems?  I see in Make 3.81 code that
explicitly synchronizes Path and PATH, so they both have the same
value.  Is it possible that your experience dates back to ports of old
versions of Make?  If not, can you provide a short self-contained
example that can be used to reproduce the problem?
