Any function files in the current directory always take precedence over
functions in the core library. So if you have for example a function or
script file named "max.m" in ~/src/octave, that will shadow the standard
"max" and possibly break other unrelated functions.

This global namespace behavior is something that typically bites people
just getting started with Octave, and my best guess is you have such a
file in your ~/src/octave.

Instead of 'cd', try 'addpath'. With 'addpath', you should get a warning
for any local functions that shadow standard functions on the load path.

If that doesn't work, try moving or renaming files one by one and
restarting Octave each time to see if one of them is the culprit.
