If you replace "which less" with "rehash", does it also find the right
version?  That would be a workaround (but shouldn't be necessary).

Is it possible that one of the "less"s is spelled with different
capitalization (not all lower case)?  We've seen some oddities with that
in the past on case-sensitive file systems.
