This is a bug in the way Octave sets values for nargin and nargout in
some cases.  It's been fixed for 1.1.1 with the following patch:

Sun Jan 15 15:08:04 1995  John Eaton  <address@hidden>

        * src/tree-expr.cc (tree_function::eval (int)): Correctly set
        nargin and nargout to zero when evaluating function.
