This problem seems to fixed in a more recent version of Octave. I tested
with Octave 2.1.65 and 2.1.67 (now in unstable) for both Emacs21 and
XEmacs21. In all cases I get:
octave> fid = popen ("ls -ltr / | tail -3", "r");
octave> fid
fid =
{
id = 3
name = ls -ltr / | tail -3
mode = r
arch = ieee_little_endian
status = open
}
octave>
I think we can close this bug report, but I would like to hear a
confirmation from the submitter soon.
