Can you please provide an example that fails?

Simple things like

  function f ()
    1
    2
  endfunction

seem to work correctly for me (i.e., setting silent_functions to 1
suppresses printing of both 1 and 2 in this function).  I'm checking
by running 2.1.34.

BTW, did Red Hat leave the startup statement about 2.1.33 being a
development version of Octave, or are they passing it off as a
released version, as they did for gcc 2.96?  1/2 :-)
