--- Comment #1 from Mark Johnston <markj at FreeBSD.org> ---
Indeed, the handling of executables and shared libs is inconsistent.  The
current behaviour makes some sense since it matches the runtime linker's search
algorithm, but it is not really intuitive for a command-line program.  Our
behaviour is also incompatible with Linux's.  The main question would be
whether changing this breaks anything.  It might be reasonable to try searching
the current directory before falling back to the rtld search path.  That would
give more consistent behaviour and be less likely to break anything.
