Follow-up Comment #4:

I backed out the load-path changeset.  The fix is not as simple as I initially
thought.  We probably want to avoid turning "." into an absolute name,
especially if we are going to display it in the output of "path".

One simple fix would be to leave the load_path class alone and just fix
addpath, rmpath, path (and others?) to expand the path, but I'd rather fix it
in one place, inside the load_path class so that relative directory names
can't appear in the load_path.

For the other problems, are you building with the JIT compiler enabled?  I
also see the the decic problem unless I disable it.  I think it started
happening after my most recent change to the symbol_scope object but I haven't
investigated further.
