Details:

On Octave MinGW32 for Windows versions 3.2.0 to 3.2.4, when the user current
directory is the root of a Windows partition *other* than C:\ (e.g. D:\, E:\
...), the m-files (scripts or functions) created by the user *during the
session* (with command "edit" or with other editors) are not usable : when
invoqued, the following message is returned : error: '<script>' undefined near
line xxx column 1.

Its very strange, because the command "dir" sees these m-files created during
the session, and if I restart Octave I am able to use them... but not new
scripts/functions created during the session.
  
Example :

> cd T:\test
> edit script.m
>    % creating script containing line:  disp('hello world !')
> script
hello world !
>    % so it works !
> 
> cd ..  % going to the root of this filesystem T:\
> pwd
ans = T:\
> edit script2.m
>    % creating script containing line:  disp('hello again')
> script2
error: `script2' undefined near line 7 column 1
>    % doesn't work, but the script is here :
> dir
 .        ..       script2.m
> quit
> 
>    % new Octave session
> cd T:\
> script2
hello again
>    % now it works, because it's a new Octave session
>
