Status: Wont Fix => Fixed

Follow-up Comment #8:
Only thing I might do is change the error message.
I added file blah.m in the directory above where I started Octave.
function y = blah ()
disp ('executing blah');
y = 5;
endfunction
Now, I run the following sequence
octave:1> f = @blah
f = @blah
octave:2> f()
error: blah: no longer valid function handle
octave:2> cd ..
octave:3> f()
executing blah
ans = 5
The message is incorrect because @blah was not a valid function handle at the
time it was created. It wasn't the case that it was valid, and then became
invalid.
I think it would be enough to just say "blah: invalid function handle".
