Thanks for all your work John,

I only searched this list before posting, so I did not see your patch.

In the meantime I have built the cvs version of octave and I can load the
MatLab files I was having trouble with in the other thread.

So all my issues are resolved.  I will keep a cvs and a stable version
around.  Thanks for all the excellent work.
