AFAICT, it has merged with the path: search-list since 1994 (according
to the commit logs).  I tried with 18c and relative paths will only
work if you have "." in your $PATH, because it just appends the given
path to all the possible paths in the path: search-list, basically the
same way the shell would do it.

Could you describe these changes?  I'm curious to know what has
changed that caused problems for you.
