I don't know if this is relevant, but I have noticed that if I create a
new directory after starting IDL, or if I have a directory that is empty
when I start IDL, and then I add a .pro file to it, PATH_CACHE, /RE does
not find the file.

Apparently the path caching algorithm marks the directory as empty and never
re-searches it.

The only way I have found to have IDL search a new directory is to restart IDL.

I would consider this a bug, but perhaps it is a "feature" of PATH_CACHE.

This doesn't happen when adding a new file to an existing, non-empty directory.
In that case PATH_CACHE, /RE works.
