I believe this is actually intentional for compatibility with csh. It is
arguably not an error but informational. This last came up in workers/38747.
The which external was traditionally a C-shell script. Still is on
Solaris. Recent Linux has it as a binary and does send it to stderr. On
FreeBSD, it is silent.
If this keeps coming up, perhaps it'd be easier just to change it.
