Perhaps this indicates a bug.  Unfortunately, there is no way for me
to tell for sure because you haven't supplied enough information for
me to be able to reproduce the problem, and unless I can do that, it's
not very likely that I'll be able to fix it.

If you think you have found a bug in Octave, please send a complete
recipe for reproducing the bug to address@hidden
Please also read the section on how to report bugs in the Octave
manaul, or read http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave/bugs.html, to find out
how to write a bug report that will allow the problem to be fixed.

Thanks,
