Maybe that setting is activated in your Debian install? I believe the settings would also be saved and remain active even if you upgrade / re-install gretl. I just checked the corresponding help entry, and this setting also has a console equivalent: set use_cwd on (or off).

And there is (at least) one more strange behavior: 'gretlcli some_dir/some_script.inp' doesn't work as well, I have to write: 'gretlcli .some_dir/some_script.inp'. Please post ~/.gretl2rc from these machines (offlist if you prefer).
