    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Run the attached script tst_hgsave.m under Octave.

The script is


graphics_toolkit qt
unlink ("foo.var");
clear

sombrero ();
hgsave (gcf, "foo.var");

filp = file_in_loadpath ("foo.var");
if (isempty (filp))
  error ("File foo.var not found");
endif


The file foo.var is created by hgsave, but file_in_loadpath fails to detect
it.  However, once Octave has returned to a command prompt, file_in_loadpath
is accurate.

Putting in a pause(1) statement after the hgsave and before the call to
file_in_loadpath does not make this work.  However, putting in a keyboard
statement which forces a return to a debug prompt does make it work.
