Do "help ignore_function_time_stamp" in octave. If somehow yours got set
 to "all" then that would explain the problem. Or if your function is
saved in one of the octave's installed directories, you would get this
behavior.
  In  any case, you don't have to exit octave, just "clear xxxx" where
xxxx is your function name.
