  ***** error interp1(1:2,1:2,1, "*spline");

octave:1> interp1(1:2,1:2,1, "spline")
ans =  1
octave:2> interp1(1:2,1:2,1, "*spline")
ans =  1

is the test wrong or interp1 is now working differently ?

on 3.4.0

octave:1> interp1(1:2,1:2,1, "spline")
error: spline: requires at least 3 points
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.4.0/m/polynomial/spline.m at line 80, column 5
