Memory exhausted when using \

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

I was porting some code from Matlab to Octave but I'm facing a "memory 
exhausted" error. I'm using Octave 3.2 on a i386 system (I may have 
access to more powerful systems but I would like to be able to run the 
code on this machine).

This happens when using "\" to solve a linear system. The matrix A is 
(246 710, 49 260) and b is (49 260, 1).

I have seen that Octave have other solvers for linear system. Do you 
think that may help?
Do you have any idea if upgrading to 3.6 could help?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
