There shouldn't be a "." in your PATH; even at the end, it's a
security risk.  Use 

./foo

instead.  Really, it's very easy to get into the habit and it improves 
your security.  It used to be the case that people put "." in their
PATH as a matter of course, but the practice died out when people
started to worry about the security implications.

I'm surprised that you say no-one else said this...
