Mmm, strange, does it change anything if you replace the
return &NOT_FOUND ;
with
return 404 ;
in line 289 of EmbperlObject.pm ?

I would gues init.html (is executed, without subdir/).
If you define notfound.html as EMBPERL_OBJECT_FALLBACK then it would be
taken from the same directories as the normal file, i.e. walking up the
directory tree until the dir where base.html lives, but when you specify
subdir/notfound.html, subdir will _not_ included in this search. I think
that's what you are seeing at the moment. That's not a bug, it's by design.
