Follow-up Comment #1, bug #59040 (project octave):


rand(1:10)
# which is equivalent to
rand(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)


should not give an endless loop. It just takes long time to output (not to
compute) the 3628800 elements of this 10-dimensional array. Thus, I do not
consider this to be a bug. Octave is just doing what you have asked for. 
Are you able to interrupt this with "Ctrl-C"?

When using


rand(1:10);


with suppressed output, the operation finishes immediately.
