Subject: undesirable new "feature" (IMHO)

Using b10...

Rather than removing files from packages that I add, which are said to
be obsolete, I created a subdirectory in my site-lisp directory call
"old" and I move stuff in there.  For example, I moved bbdb's
mail-abbrevs.el{,c} files in there.  I do not, of course, add this
"old" directory to my load-path.

It seems that 20.1 is adding paths to my load-path that I didn't
specify, or otherwise searching in directories other than what I have
specified in load-path.  It found the old mail-abbrevs.elc file in
site-lisp/old even though that wasn't part of the load-path that I
specified.  This is bad behavior, I believe.  Xemacs shouldn't search
anywhere that I don't explicitly tell it to.

This problem did not exist in 19.15.

Is there at least a way to turn off this automatic search for load-path 
"feature"?

Thanks.

Derrell
