Details:

Hello, try running this:

some = rand(4,2);
median(some, 1)

I get this results:
octave:22> some = rand(4,2)
some =

   0.362178   0.605746
   0.383044   0.664575
   0.032583   0.191176
   0.122265   0.993386

octave:23> median(some, 1)
ans =

   0.24222   0.63516

It seems that it is not a median, but a mean value...
