| It works in Octave 2.1.50. However, for version 2.1.52 you have to

The [] forces a conversion from range to matrix.  That the conversion
does not happen automatically is a bug, but it is fixed in CVS.

BTW, the recommended version is 2.1.50, so if you are new to Octave,
you might want to use that instead of 2.1.52.
