The subject line tells it all!? Debian Stretch (64bit).

Without warning, or any other indications, some of the alias statements 
in my user .bashrc are no longer working!.

The strange thing is that some still are working. Also, if I enter the 
complete path to an executable whose alias is NOT working, the 
executable works!!!!  Reentering the alias statement in .bashrc does not 
restore the function.

If I enter the alias statement in a terminal the alias works for that 
session of the terminal.

The only thing that Google has yielded is when all of the alias 
statements stop working.

This is inconvenient and very annoying. AS solution to the problem will 
be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
