Partial reversion of nvm-sh/nvm#1517. Each alias lookup adds 8 to the pids.current bean counter resulting in 64+ concurrent tids (tasks, w/ threads) thus making it susceptible to hit pids.max. Once reached, subshell behavior is unexpected yielding "retry: Resource temporarily unavailable" errors until cgroup capacity is restored.
