Although in your other thread in the help-octave ML it was suggested that
the developers would pick up from the maintainers list (indeed we sometimes
do), a formal bug report is much better, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/bugs.html
If you can, please attach a patch there, preferrably as a Mercurial
changeset.
Thanks,
