    _______________________________________________________

Details:

On Linux when importing  .m script Octave hangs; 
memory bloats; Octave uses all computer memory and 
eventually computer crashes or stops responding!
All that when importing a simple .m  script file.

After long experimentation, 
As it turns out this happens when .m file
is coded with Dos style line ending /cr /lf 
This .m file comes in examples Matlab code from the book.
Every example I tried causes same crash.

Workaround I found is to convert .m file from Dos to Unix coding style.

I consider it's a bug. the program should not crash 
when importing files created in Dos or Windows.

regards
Igor
