Package: emacsVersion: 23.2
I've noticed strange loading behavior for Emacs.app when I wrap it with a script:
#!/bin/bash
/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs "$@"
Here are my observations:
1) For files specified with --find-file and --find and --visit, loading goes fine.
2) For files specified with absolute paths, loading is also fine.
3) For files specified with relative pathnames, things start getting weird. For example, loading "a/b/c/d.txt" will load the desired file, but it will then try to load "a/b/c/a/b/c/d.txt", which clearly doesn't exist. It's as if directory "a/b/c" has been added to some sort of search path (in addition to $PWD) in which emacs then relatively searches for "a/b/c/d.txt", thus resulting in the joined result "a/b/c/a/b/c/d.txt".
I don't know if this should be a bug, since the desired usage of Emacs.app is to run through the window manager (some form of "open"), which is a sheltered environment.
I've built Emacs.app from MacPorts, which, from what I can tell, introduces no special modifications or patches, and so I believe that this defect is repeatable.
