private directories

[Muhali]

I noticed that private directories are treated differently in matlab and
octave. If in a function a file from the private directory is loaded this is
recognized by matlab but not by octave, as in the following example where
foo.mat resides in /foo/private:

-------------------
% /foo/fun.m
function y = fun()
   load foo.mat
end
-------------------

%> cd /foo; octave --no-init-file -q
octave:> fun
error: load: unable to find file foo.mat
error: called from:
error:   /foo/fun.m at line 3, column 4

Should this be considered a bug or a missing feature?

M.
