Finding .oct files in path

[Kim Hansen]

Hi

(I have send this to address@hidden, but it seems that that list is
almost dead, that is why I resend it now to help-octave)

In octave 3.0 it was possible to make an .oct file and then find it in
the path, in 3.2 and 3.3 it does not work for me. I have created a
script that shows the differences between the three versions. It is
the last test in the script that I expected to work, but it only works
with 3.0.

Is this a bug or has something changed in octave that I am not aware of?

Regards,
Kim
