Re: problem with legend.m

[David Bateman]

This is a long standing problem, which can easily be seen with the "ls"
command where it doesn't return anything. I believe it is probably due
to a compiler bug in the g++ I/O stuff, as when I looked at it I couldn't
find anything within octave responsible for it. So maybe compiling with
a newer version of g++ might also fix the issue....

David
