Run settings can't run plain executable in project dir

My run settings (generic makefile project) previously didn't have to specify anything but the executable name in order to run and debug properly. The executable ends up in the same directory as the .project file.

When I try to run or debug, I get the "Could not find the executable, please specify one" dialog. I can actually get it to "find the executable" ( at least it won't be highlighted in red anymore) by setting it to $BUILDDIR/EXE_name, but then that won't run or debug. I verified that the executable in fact exists in the project dir with the correct name, and runs just fine with an absolute path.

In my mind none of this fiddling should be necessary. If the specified executable is in the project directory, no more fiddling should be required. That worked just fine in 2.0.x (I think), and it should stay that way.

I just installed the latest 2.0.93 nightly (rev e65a180706), 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.
