Follow-up Comment #6:

Ok, I verified that the complete example does run in Matlab, thank you. If you
look closer, you can see that the main difference is the return value of
'dsolve'. In Matlab, 'dsolve' returns an expression, but Octave 'dsolve'
returns an equality.

If you run 'rhs' on the return value of Octave 'dsolve', you get the same
answer as Matlab.

So the compatibility bug here is that 'dsolve' should not return an equality
like "y(t) == expr", it should just return "expr". Does that look right to
you?

Reopening and changing the summary.
