Consider the following: (courtesy of my boss's boss, who may have too much
free time this week :-)

octave:1> [u,h] = eval('hess([1 2; 3 4])')
ans =
  1  2
  3  4
u =
  1  2
  3  4
----------------------
hess returns two arguments, but only the first is returned by octave.
I don't think this is necessarily a bug, but I thought I should 
let you know.  Perhaps passing nargout values would do the job (I haven't
checked the source to see...); 

A work around is

octave:1> eval('[u,h] = hess([1 2; 3 4])')
u =
  1  0
  0  1

h =
  1  2
  3  4

ans =
  1  0
  0  1
