The last 2.5 days our local mail server software seems to have been bogous.
I never received any useful hints on my problem report:
SunOS 4.1.2 / 4.1.3
GCC 2.5.8 \
libg++ 2.5.3 \
Make 3.70 > all the newest, just for octave ..
Flex 2.4.6 /
Sun f77 [not the very newest]
-------
PROBLEM: shell_cmd(..) does not work; ==> plot [via gnuplot] fails, too.
-------
Here an example:
sophie{maechler}353% octave
