As it happened, I found the solution myself. I was running code under
Octave 3.0.1 that I had written under Octave 2.5, and it included a
calculation with the Gamma distribution. The results were different in
the two versions. After a short experimentation I noticed that the Gamma
parameterization was changed (probably for compatibility with Matlab) so
I changed my code accordingly and everything run well.
I have come back to Octave after a long time doing everything with R
(I'm a statistician), but I like Octave very much, I will read the
posts, and I will ask politely for help when I need it.
Thanks to Dmitri for the link to how to ask question the smart way.

Then the following 2 entries from the 3.0.1 NEWS file are probably of
interest to you.
** For compatibility with Matlab, normcdf, norminv, normpdf, and
normrnd have been modified to compute distributions using the
standard deviation instead of the variance.
** For compatibility with Matlab, gamcdf, gaminv, gampdf, gamrnd,
expcdf, expinv, exppdf and exprnd have been modified to compute
the distributions using the standard scale factor rather than
one over the scale factor.
