Dear Clemens

We have a little situation with fstat
check here
http://gnu-octave-repository.2306053.n4.nabble.com/Octave-forge-Package-Statistics-td3978628.html

A dev could remove the one from core, but we must check that the
discussion there s still valid.

Cheers

PS: I erfcx has be removed as well, but the package has not seen a new
release yet.
