I still found something intersting. The script works at moose, where
octave complains about function shadowing, with optim-1.0.12:

address@hidden:/home_moose/rose/Txt/src/Test/Octave(2)$ octave
leasqr_test_2.m  
GNU Octave, version 3.6.1
...
For information about changes from previous versions, type `news'.

warning: function /usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.0.12/fminbnd.m
shadows a core library function
f =

    1.1536
    2.1451
    3.9891
    7.4179
   13.7941

p =

   0.62034
   0.62034

cvg =  1
iter =  7


But it does not work at wildcat with optim-1.0.16, where octave does not
complain about function shadowing, as seen in my last posting.
