Details:

If I put the following code in an m-file, start Octave, and run the code:


clear all
u=randn(10,3);
v=u*u'


the matrix v is not displayed.  If I try to use disp to view v I see nothing. 
Typing whos shows the size of v is correct. It seems v has been computed
correctly, but I can't see the entire result. I can view parts of v using the
colon operator, for example a single row. If I change to an 8 by 3 size for u,
then I see the result, i.e. it only seems to fail for larger matrices. 
Similar behavior occurs after using rand.  If I replace the rand line with
repmat to create u, then v is viewable.
