📄 Description

With Ubuntu 16.04, /usr/bin/which is a symlink to /bin/which. So, using "private-bin which" finds "which" in /usr/bin and adds the symlink to "which" in /bin mapped directory. The /bin directory thus contains a symlink named "which" pointing to "/bin/which" (itself). This creates a symlink loop, and does not work. In order to solve this, the full path can now be used, such as "private-bin /bin/which". This fixes #1133.
