`exec-path` occasionally wrong

[jonpalmisc]

Hi,

First of all, I'm unsure if this is an issue with this repo or Emacs itself; sorry if I've incorrectly assumed it's related to these Emacs builds specifically.

I notice that these Emacs builds seem to correctly initialize exec-path to roughly what is in my shell config by default, despite not using exec-path-from-shell or any similar trickery. That is great! This was not my experience when building Emacs from source without any patches, etc.

However, I find that sometimes when I launch Emacs (typically via open -a Emacs .), exec-path is not configured, seemingly randomly. Maybe 1 in 15 times if I had to guess.

I'm not sure why this is happening. I'd be happy to take a look but I didn't see any patches or build steps pertaining to exec-path.

Ok, all it took was writing this issue to figure out the difference:

• Opening Emacs via open -a Emacs ... from an existing terminal session: correct exec-path!
• Opening Emacs from Spotlight or the dock: wrong/default exec-path

It would be cool if this was something this project could solve, but feel free to close this otherwise—I don't think this is an issue specific to this project.
