unicorn:~$ zsh
greg@unicorn ~ % type which
which is a shell builtin

Zsh is caching the old location, and because "which" is a shell builtin
in your shell, it's reporting the cached value.

In bash, which is *not* a shell builtin -- it's a separate program,
/usr/bin/which.  So, using "which" from bash would have reported the
wrong thing in this situation.  Just FYI.

(tl;dr: use type, not which)
