Summary

0000085: ocamldebug and relative filenames

Description

Full_Name: Samuel Hériard
Version: 3.0
OS: Linux
Submission from: rde1-68.adsl1.club-internet.fr (195.36.220.68)

I don't understand why ocamldebug searchs the program to run in PATH
instead of the current directory when the filename is not an absolute path.
shouldn't something like this be better :
