Public bug reported: When you run octave-mode then run-octave and try to change the directory it gives this error and freezes: "No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable".
When I googled it it was funny, but posts back to 2006 complained about the same thing, some people speculating in a problem with the file octace-inf.el. I tried a couple of patches but was not able to get anything to work. Anyway, the octave-mode seems broken, and it should be fixed or left out, methinks. The interaction with the shell is kind of cruicial to its operation. Thanks for looking at this.
