Details:

I am looking into the log z/color scale gnuplot problem using the "run-octave"
shell script file for running using the build tree.  I happened to have a
__gnuplot_get_var__.m file in the path that is described in my .octaverc file.
 When I launch Octave with /<fullpath>/run-octave the __gnuplot_get_var__.m
inside /<fullpath>/../octave/scripts/plot/private is used.  However, when I
make edits in /<fullpath>/../octave/scripts/plot/private/__go_draw_axes__.m
and save that file while Octave is still running, Octave then finds the
__gnuplot_get_var__.m in the search path described in my .octaverc file.  I
can tell because my __gnuplot_get_var__.m happens to be incompatible with the
current development version.

So, either:

1) A time stamp change on a file is causing Octave to disregard the conditions
set up in the "run-octave" shell script file.

or

2) Under "run-octave", Octave isn't initially finding a script file in the
path described in my .octaverc that it should be finding.

Not a high priority bug, and maybe it isn't even a bug if I'm overlooking
something.
