I had a look at what I _think_ fixes this issue in the development source changeset: 10544:9961fc022d9d user: Jaroslav Hajek <[email protected]> date: Fri Apr 23 11:23:43 2010 +0200 summary: fix assignment to non-existing variables and octave_value::assign The diff doesn't apply cleanly and I'm not sure it wouldn't change the ABI. So, unless someone comes up with a patch, this bug will stay in the 3.2 series. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
