Yes sure, sorry.

First of all I've to say that I cannot see this problem with 3.0.0 and I cannot 
see it in the current default-branch. It somehow appeared with 3.0.1 and I also 
thought that I somewhen saw it disappear - but I must gone wrong somwhow. I 
thought that my build scripts were broken, but I used the same scripts for 
building 3.0.0 as I have used for building 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 and the current 
default branch...

Now, by example, I startup Octave 3.0.0 with the --path option

  $ ~/bin/Octave.app.3.0.0/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
  --path ~/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval --quiet
  octave-3.0.0:1> which ieval
  ieval is the user-defined function from the file
  /Users/Thomas/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval/ieval.m
  octave-3.0.0:2> path
  Octave's search path contains the following directories:
  .
  /Users/Thomas/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval
/Users/Thomas/bin/Octave.app.3.0.0/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/si
te/m
  <SNIP>

If I do the same with 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 then that path is ignored

  $ ~/bin/Octave.app.3.0.2/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
  --path ~/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval --quiet
  octave-3.0.2:1> which ieval
  which: `ieval' is undefined
  octave-3.0.2:2> path
  Octave's search path contains the following directories:
  .
/Users/Thomas/bin/Octave.app.3.0.2/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/octave/
site/oct/api-v32/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1
  <SNIP>

on the other hand, if I also use the --no-initial-path option too, then the 
current path and the path that I passed from command line are there (all Octave 
paths are not there, of course) - this can also be pure luck

  $ ~/bin/Octave.app.3.0.2/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
  --path ~/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval --quiet --no-initial-path
  octave-3.0.2:1> which ieval
  ieval is the user-defined function from the file
  /Users/Thomas/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval/ieval.m
  octave-3.0.2:2> path
  Octave's search path contains the following directories:
  .
  /Users/Thomas/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval
  octave-3.0.2:3>

Because ./run-octave uses the --no-initial-path option I cannot see this problem 
if I run the local ./run-octave script, with this script everything works fine.

I also should notice that I use a lot of environment modifiers at startup - 
maybe there has a been a change at Octave side that I didn't recognize, ie. if I 
startup Octave (like I did before in the second example) then this is the real 
line that is executed

$ ~/bin/Octave.app.3.0.2/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave --path 
~/tmp/Unfinished/Ieval --quiet
