Details:

The 'run' command should enter a directory, run a script, then return to the
calling directory. This is what is described in the documentation, and what
would be compatible behaviour with the matlab equivalent.
Instead what happens is that it enters a directory, runs the script, and then
stays there.

Trivial example:

pwd
mkdir 'Child Directory';
fh = fopen('./Child Directory/childscript.m','w');
fprintf(fh,'fprintf(''Hello from childscript\\n'');\n');
fclose(fh);
run './Child Directory/childscript';
pwd
