EXEC_PATH

[Marco Atzeri]

while testing to print plots on latest dev on cygwin, 
I hit a strange problem

What could cause that EXEC_PATH losts the PATH portion 
coming from the system ?

octave:1> getenv("OCTAVE_EXEC_PATH")
ans = 

octave:2> EXEC_PATH
ans = 
/usr/local/libexec/octave/3.3.54+/site/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/libexec/octave/api-v42+/site/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/libexec/octave/site/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/libexec/octave/3.3.54+/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/bin

octave:3> getenv("PATH")
ans = 
/home/itq00146/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/lapack:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/utility:/usr/local/libexec/octave/3.3.54+/site/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/libexec/octave/api-v42+/site/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/libexec/octave/site/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/libexec/octave/3.3.54+/exec/i686-pc-cygwin:/usr/local/bin

I do not see such problem on a fedora 14 under virtual box,
as there OCTAVE_EXEC_PATH = PATH
