That'd be a VFS 'feature'. I reckon it builds a copy of an archive's 
directory structure in temp. file space and hands you that to navigate 
within the archive. It deletes the temp. structure after a while of 
non-use or on exit.

I know that some shells cache paths to accesssed files. bash has an 
incantation to clear this cache (hash -r). Dunno if it helps *your* 
particular case, but since bash is prone to Rama-wails if you move an 
exe you have already used, it's a nice one to know. It might also be 
that your brand-spanking-new exe isn't in the search path, or comes 
*after* the old version. In those cases it's either 'type the full path 
to the exe' or muck about with $PATH. Millennium hand and shrimp.

       So how am I here now? Well, about one month ago my seventeen-
year-old self would have stumbled upon the buried ruins of an ancient
culture that died off long ago. Then through extraordinary circumstances
involving not one but three power lines, a tanker truck filled with
goats' milk, one small but powerful explosive, and a very large bag full
of feminine undergarments, I wound up four thousand years in the past.
And I who never believed people when they said there was power in goats'
milk.
