Details:

For example this code will produce the bug:

octave:1> what /usr/share/octave/4.0.2/m/audio
M-files in directory /usr/share/octave/4.0.2/m/audio:

   lin2mu.m     record.m     soundsc.m    wavwrite.m                         

   mu2lin.m     sound.m      wavread.m                                       



Possible solution:

--- /usr/share/octave/4.0.2/m/miscellaneous/what.m
+++ what.m
@@ -116,7 +116,7 @@
         w.oct{end+1} = n;
       elseif (strcmp (e, mexext ()))
         w.mex{end+1} = n;
-      elseif (n(1) == "@" && isdir (n))
+      elseif (n(1) == "@" && isdir (fullfile (dir, n)))
         w.classes{end+1} = n;
       endif
     endif


Then the correct result is:

octave:2> what /usr/share/octave/4.0.2/m/audio
M-files in directory /usr/share/octave/4.0.2/m/audio:

   lin2mu.m     record.m     soundsc.m    wavwrite.m                         

   mu2lin.m     sound.m      wavread.m                                       


Classes in directory /usr/share/octave/4.0.2/m/audio:

   @audioplayer     @audiorecorder
