What version of Octave are you using. On what platform? How was it
compiled? Precisely how are you calling the fread function?
If you think you have found a bug in Octave, then please submit a
complete bug report to the address@hidden list. If you aren't sure
what to include in the report so that it is useful, then please read
http://www.otave.org/bugs.html before sending your report.
