difference between path / pathdef

I'm running 3.0.0 on Mac OS X (intel), built and installed using Fink.

After installation of 3.0.0, the path for octave is

	def = path
	def = .:/sw/share/octave/site/m:/sw/share/octave/site/m/startup:/ ...

However, when I check the default path I get

	pathdef
	ans = ::/sw/share/octave/site/m:/sw/share/octave/site/m/startup: ...

Shouldn't pathdef begin with a period "." instead of colon ":"?
