Principally, that's up to you. What discrepant behavior do you mean?
That Octave-optims quadprog does not give a warning? I'd think that it
only should give a warning if verbosity is increased by an option (but
that's currently not implemented). Or that non-existance of a solution
should be detected? For both issues, there could be a bug submitted,
if you'd like to, marked "feature request".

Yes, I meant exactly this by the discrepant behavior. I should get a warning. More important than getting a warning is that octave should tell me that solution is non-existant without me having to use exit-flag. Thanks for your help. I am going to file a bug report.
